Much like in #594 apache commons is banned in a code base I work in. I assumed this library was not suitable for use based on the README but after searching the issues I found the aforementioned pull request.
Personally I believe it should be fine to just remove it from
pom.xml
and update the README.md accordingly; as it has been several months since that change was merged, but acknowledge it may break some users functionality if they are not careful about accidental transitive dependency use.
