-# Masking Spring Framework for the time being as 3.2.4 is old, has
-# multiple vulnerabilities, and we're not likely to update it
-# soon. Hopefully we can revisit it when the Maven stuff works out.

+# Although the Spring Framework is very much alive, our packages are
+# ancient and our infrastructure is not ready to update it any time
+# soon. If you want this then join the Java team and be prepared to do
+# a lot of work. Removal in 30 days.
