Well, my vision is somewhat narrow as I tend to stay in my little corner in compress and only occasionaly lurk anywhere else. In compress I have created a branch that used snapshot releases of XZ for Java or developed Zip64 support in a branch (which required Java5 when compress was at 1.4 compatibiity). Torsten used to do some API refactoring in a branch when compress was part of the sandbox. Don't read this as boasting "we did branches" but rather as a signal that it has always been possible to do that - if other components never did it's just because nobody wanted to do it. Is there anyting we need to do to encourage "proactive feature development"? I wouldn't know what that could be.
