Re: [modeling-pmc] Guava/Guice update and version bump

[Christian Dietrich <christian.dietrich@xxxxxxxxx>]

The main problem is:

what if e.g. java 11 requires to update these libaries?
how did you handle that is the past?
(https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5816)
which was done in Nov. 2011 which was likely Xtext 2.1 or 2.2
=> no major version bump

=> i'am totally unsure what binary compatibility means regardings
dependencies / manifests (we have other things that break e.g. through
orbit changes

Thanks
Christian
