   Hi @bvolpato !
   
   Actually, this task is suspended by the policy that we have for breaking changes in Beam. This one is a part of epic task #24292 where we did quite a lot of progress by introducing a new Avro extension for Java SDK (it was tested and finally should support different Avro versions), transitioning all other modules, that leverages Avro from `core`, to this extension and deprecating Avro-related classed in `core`. Though, we can't just drop an Avro support from core to avoid instant breaking changes, so we need to wait several minor Beam releases (at least three, iirc) and give the user some time to switching and test this new extension.
   
   Do you think you can also start using `extensions/avro` with a more recent Avro version and in this case I think 1.8.2 will be dropped from classpath and won't bring the other out-dated dependencies?
