Hi,
this came in via twitter:

Definitely jealous about the no apologies - for both Java versions and
removing methods from the API without changing package name.

In general, it is going to be very, very hard for Commons to go up against
guava. The Preconditions stuff is only the tip of the ice-berg. The
advantages highlighted in the blog are typical of every aspect of guava ...
well thought out (the different exception types and varargs for instance)
and absolutely no apologies for requiring recent Java versions.
To actually match the quality of guava, Commons would have to stop worrying
about minutiae like whether or not there is a Validate.isNotEmpty and start
pushing hard and fast against the real issues.
