Replacement of Quicksort in java.util.Arrays with new Dual-Pivot Quicksort

[Stuart Marks]

Wow, is this a reply to a nearly seven-year-old email? [1]

I don't know if Vladimir Yaroslavskiy is still on core-libs-dev. I dug through 
tthe archives and found that he had posted a couple messages somewhat later [2] 
[3] using different email addresses:

   Vladimir Iaroslavski <vladimir.iaroslavski at googlemail.com>
   Vladimir Iaroslavski <iaroslavski at mail.ru>

You might try to contact him at one of these addresses. Note however that the 
more recent one is still over five years old.

He's also on LinkedIn. His profile says he works for Oracle, but as far as I can 
see he no longer does.

Good luck,

s'marks
