Pointing this out is great. Whatever the pool developers decide, then they do it knowing what Lang has done and knowing a possible consequence of their decision. I'm all for taking part in the discussion and giving opinions and pointing out what other components have done. Thats all good stuff. > Makes lots of sense to the users. By the time theres a pool 3 it may be irrelevant. Who knows what Maven will be like, or even if it will be the build system of choice for pool. So it may be doing something in anticipation of a situation that never occurs. Even if it does I doubt the users of pool will have much difficulty in understanding the situation. > Again, it comes down to "you don't work on this project so stay out of > its damn business" and "the release manager is doing the work so they > can do whatever the hell they want."

Thats not what I'm saying. This is a pool discussion, which I've never contributed to and I'm butting in. As I said before thats a good thing. But theres a big difference between taking part in a discussion and trying to impose rules/requirements at a Commons level. Niall > At this point, I really don't care what you guys do.

I'm tired of arguing about this stuff all the time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
