I d
on't wanna sound PITA and I know this is the never ending story discussion
 but why we're still not removing it?

 *I think it's time to remove xalan from JBoss or at least from endorsed directory.*
 
 I came to this when I started analyzing
 https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2917
 
 So my question is does some project depend on packages:
 
  * org.apache.xalan.*
  * org.apache.xml.*
  * org.apache.xpath.*
 
 from xalan.jar or it's problem of JVM incorporating buggy implementation of it?
 I see from https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-2073
 that in the past there used to be a buggy implementation in JDK 4.
 
 According to http://community.jboss.org/message/346954#346954
 there used to be some issues in the past when endosing xalan.jar 
 together with xml-apis.jar on JDK5.
 But now xml-apis.jar isn't endorsed any more and we're just supporting JDK6 and above.
 
 I also see we're using some brew version of it (incorporating some xalan patches).
 The issues these patches are trying to solve are also in implementation of supported JVMs?
 
 I found that JBossWS depends on xalan https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2919 (should be fixed soon).
 
 How about other projects? Do MC, JBossXB or some other projects depend on xalan directly?
