OK, I can see more of the context now. I believe that our 2.4.x stream
should compile against Commons CLI 1.3 (it will just use the deprecated
classes so might have a few warnings).

But now that I understand the context, do let us know if that doesn't
work. If back-porting our CLI 1.3 changes from the 2.5.x stream to the
2.4.x stream (2.4.5 would be our next release) is the only way to get
out a security fixed Debian version of Groovy, then we might consider
bending our "only minor enhancements" policy in the 2.4.x stream.
We'd need a little bit of time to discuss and then it will take a few
weeks to cut a release - we have a few things on our plates at the
moment and have a new release process through the Apache incubator
at present.
