So are we considering informed choice to be transitive? The informed choice is a red herring in the case of regular Apache releases depending on the incubator artifacts. If they add the incubator repo to their pom, then most users of their artifact won't even notice it. Only those that are using repo managers or other policies are getting trapped by this. --Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
