Actually, I agree with you, and others have expressed the same concern, although without casting a vote. Adding new Committers is probably the #1 issue facing the Derby project, which has otherwise performed excellently to date. As even Jeremy pointed out, were IBM to withdraw (however unlikely) from Derby, it would be a serious blow. I have great respect for everyone involved in the Derby project, but I don't believe that special consideration should be given. That is a slipperly slope, which would cause other projects to either ask for the same special consideration or cry foul about favoritism. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
