[wildfly-dev] Version ownership (conflict?): Apache Avro

[James Perkins]

It looks like it came in as part of
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-7908. I'm personally not a big fan of
these sweeping version updates like this for this exact reason. We've had
issues with this type of thing before and I do think we need a better
approach.

IMO we can definitely downgrade this. I also see no other modules that
depend on it either.
