Handling case by case is valuable. If it were com.somecompany.foo.* then there might be cause for concern in that it might not appear independent. I'm fine with Subversion keeping the current namespace, under the understanding that migrating in the future in a way that makes sense for their users is a good thing to do. This is similar to when a subproject goes TLP too - for example, I work on Archiva, which came from Maven, which is partially org.apache.maven.archiva.* and partially org.apache.archiva.*. - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
