[platform-dev] ArrayList vs Vector

["Andrey Loskutov" <loskutov@xxxxxx>]

Hi all,

There is a series of commits that are replacing Vector with ArrayList with the reasoning "Vector is an outdated data structure and ArrayList should be preferred
as it is faster".

Please note, that Vector is synchronized and ArrayList not, so this is not 1:1 "no-op" exchange!

As javadoc in Vector says, one could replace it with ArrayList, but only "If a thread-safe implementation is not needed".

So whoever is going to review & merge this, please make sure you have understood the implication of the change on internal & external behavior of the changed code.
