8 years ago The original thought came from some code I had to deal with where everyone would throw random methods into one big "Util" class. My thought with default methods on interfaces is that you would build a lot of little interfaces like mixins, and then use them when necessary.
In my experience, it doesn't really seem like a big win, so I'm leaning towards removing this section.
I failed to see how the suggested alternative to Util classes is better. in fact it is much worse in my POV it pollute the class public API with concerns that ere irrelevant to its usage.
A better suggestion to address the problem would be to look for an existing library that offers better / more general solution to the problem at hand. And if no library offer the functionality you may want to do a contribution to one of them.
