Hi Dan, that's great, you can just update your proposal to acknowledge this and then solve it during incubation. I think it's important to identify these things prior to incubation but you can work it while you're incubating [and, obviously, prior to any release]... --tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
