As I recall, Serge and I were the ones who did the work to get DBCP into
JAMES in the first place, and after some years of running DBCP, processing
over 1 million connections per day, I am satisfied that we don't need
mordred as a backup plan anymore, so it is not worth maintaining.
Remember: if we cannot provide a stable, reliable, production quality mail
server, every feature, bell and whistle is worthless.

As I mentioned earlier, and we can deal with it then.

Except that the issue is that mordred needs updating because it no longer
works with newer versions of Java.

This is a good example of Robert's points on modularity. If mordred
was a separate project built separately, we could keep it as a binary
dependency, no?
