That's not the right conclusion. If there had been arguments against including <some feature>, you would have gotten a response. :-) The central point is: It's is not primarily other people that have to be interested in a feature (that you would develop) but yourself; and most importantly, developing a feature implies that you would be ready to support it. IMHO, that would also rule out developing something as a programming exercise, when there is a chance that nobody will use it (if even you don't). In that situation, there is the danger to not discover shortcomings of the implementation that appear more clearly when you apply it to real-world problems. > [...] Regards, Gilles --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
