I've done the same thing and been pushing JEXL snapshots for sometime to avoid the unpleasant moment, so unpleasant that I've procrastinated enough to now have to consider alternatives. I find disturbing that committers fear to release and that goodwill to share features and code is killed by the process that should help publish them - not oppose them!
I agree that a "release early, release often" scheme would help but I've no idea how to achieve this without a "release faster" mean. However, I ultimately suspect that the vested interest of some in promoting a hard, difficult and lengthy process relates to how their bills get payed and by whom; there is a huge difference in those of us doing this as a "goodwill hobby" - so to speak - because we feel it is good ethics to contribute back and those who make a living from it. Can't blame them for making sure their fees stay high by ensuring "hobbyists" don't get too efficient! (just kidding :-)) Cheers, Henrib -- View this message in context: http://apache-commons.680414.n4.nabble.com/JEXL-Jexl-2-1-tp4147180p4148135.html Sent from the Commons - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
