-  - The MOEA Framework can currently connect with C/C++ programs by sending
-    data over standard I/O or sockets.  This, however, is not efficient as the
-    data must be serialized, transmitted, and parsed between Java and C.  Java
-    does have the Java Native Interface (JNI) or similar tools like Java Native
-    Access (JNA) for directly invoking methods in natively-compiled libraries.
-    Explore ways to develop a faster interface using JNI.
-
-  - The org.moeaframework.core.fitness package contains code for supporting
-    indicator-based methods, but is currently unused.  These should be used to
-    implement native indicator-based MOEAs.
-
   - The MOEA Framework is primarily a single-threaded library, and currently
     only supports multithreaded evaluation of problems.  This limitation is
     caused by: 1) shared instances which are not thread safe, such as PRNG;
