Hi Matt!!! I noticed 2 important points I'd like to discuss: 1) generally speaking, the bigger part of the users are lazy: they just want to grab latest released artifact of XXX component with Maven and use it, so it is hard to obtain feedbacks from APIs not released yet; 2) committers/PMCs interested on Digester is reduced: we got two +1s, one +0 and I didn't express my opinion (If I would have done it, in my country they would have called me Mafia guy :D )
I didn't understand when you wrote "I'm certainly not going to twist your arm": of course you wouldn't do it physically :D but I didn't understand in which sense :P Have a nice day, all the best!
