I thought it would be more likely to get a more precise answer from them
because they certainly know their code best. I am not even sure if
batik-constants is a long term solution or if they want to change that
again in the future. Depending on the cgview code it may have been
possible to patch the sources and make them compatible with Batik 1.10
without packaging batik-constants. If this all sounds too far-fetched,
then packaging batik-constants is the way to go.
