As I mentioned in the thread referenced above, I do think each component needs to have some sense of communal responsibility, one that goes beyond this component and this release. I'm sure we can accomodate variations to distros as it makes sense, and we can collectively choose to change current styles. However, having components package releases differently hurts because (overarching sentiment is we have many interdependencies, anyone using one component is likely to need many): * For users, having the distros be familiar means less time / frustration to figure things out * For developers, having distros be familiar means less inertia to take on new releases Finally, for clarity, if you really want to proceed the way you have things set up, I don't consider that to be a blocking factor. In any case, the time you're spending on v1.1.1 is appreciated. -Rahul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
