      It should be ideally removed to make things unlikely to fail.
      A few usages are actually even only a JAXB API usage of base 64 conversions API, which can be replaced by java.util.Base64. For example https://github.com/jenkinsci/instance-identity-module/pull/11 shows such a usage removal.
