+1.  I don't like the idea of dropping it altogether though.  Many of
the abstractions it introduces are quite useful and lead to cleaner code.

+1 for sticking to the stable API.

We could re-explore the idea of shading guava into the richfaces jar
under a different package name.  The downside here is it would be easy
to forget about upgrading the library, however this would no longer
effect user applications nor interact with leaky containers.
