Generally, that list looks good. I'd agree we need to add POOL-131/logging. Obviously, that means picking a framework... I'd also like to look at POOL-142. I understand the point that Sandy makes but it remains that not throwing the exception made writing test cases a lot harder. Better logging is probably the way to handle this. Back to POOL-131 ;) My other question is what do we do about the code in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/pool/branches/2_0_DEV/ ? With the recent changes for fairness and removing syncs, I suspect the code has diverged a lot.
