What is “security sensitive”? I’d not dare to put numbers to such
a denomination.

No idea whether maintaining several versions is really worth it.
I mean, jgoodies looks upstream-dead, so this is a good argument
in favour of both

ⓐ maintain multiple versions of our own

ⓑ package the last version of it, maintain that, and patch
  all applications to use it (and we expect no further/new
  breakage, because there will be no new upstream version)
