1. Well, all the tools we currently have serve the same purpose, making it easier to write code in Velocity. So, all of them discourage people from writing proper higher level Java APIs. Are you proposing to remove all the velocity tools?

2. These aren't all new APIs, I was just trying to move some code from oldcore $util to a better place. Is it wrong to move APIs out of oldcore?

3. One of the top strengths of XWiki is the ability to do quick development from the browser, without requiring compilation, deployment, restarting the server. We're not the only ones that code in XWiki. Do we want to discourage users from writing velocity code as well? Isn't it good that we're providing the best tools we can?
