I for one did not see continuing this discussion on tomcat dev as being
productive. It has continued on the PMC mailing list.

The role of the PMC in such decisions will be a topic of discussion. In
fact, that is precisely the discussion that has continued in the PMC
mailing list.
Some feel that the decision was already made by the Tomcat committers.

Jon has strong opinions, and voiced then in an unambiguous fashion. When
asked to defer, he did. Flames are a fact of life in open source.

The right of committers to pursue their convictions, independent of the
popularity of their ideas at the time, is an important "side" of the
debate.

Given the PMC composition and the opinions expressed so far by some of the
PMC members and the silence of the others, I'm sure you'll understand
why I want to stop "beeing a party" of this project in general.
If anyone wants to "debate" with Jon - good luck, I had
enough of that already, and I have a feeling that even the subject of the
debate is wrongly choosen - ( the PMC "reaching final decisions about
the tomcat source" in 1/4 of an afternoon debate, instead of the project
commiters ).
IMHO behaviors like Jon's should be the subject of the debate - but it
seems Jon is a PMC member and one of the organizers of the meeting.
( in any case, I don't think I'm a "side" of any debate regarding tomcat -
I just contributed code and time to a project and got flames back )
