I am not opposed to using Java refactor, which will indeed bring some trouble to the user. For example, we need to provide two release packages (scala 2.11/2.12), which also brings obstacles to contributors.
The key is that we need to take some feasible solutions to minimize risks and costs and achieve scala free.
