+1 and IMHO innovation blocking as well moreover from the commons homepage: "The Commons is an Apache project focused on all aspects of reusable Java components." that doesn't mean to me "helping companies on keep their libraries up-to-date for their needs" When doing OSS I _personally_ don't care about what 3rd part companies need - unless they are interested on paying me to develop/maintain their *custom* components - but how the software can evolve. Let's take the [collections] Vs guava case once again: we didn't let collections evolve to not lose old users, but people simply switched to google-collections/guava. That proves that evolution is not always evil as it appears. This fact reminds me some Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmare episodes :) Of course, I still have a lot to learn about what *real* OSS community development is, but that's the reason why I am here and not somewhere else.
