No. What I am saying is that as a group, we choose to go in a certain
direction and voted on it (with zero -1's).
Let me refer you to this link (again):
<http://w6.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2000/Aug/index.html#00195>
Now, he wants to go against what everyone voted for by continuing on with
the development of Tomcat 3.x indefinitely. I'm going to call him on that
because I don't see that as being right. I also don't see a problem with
questioning the fact that he has completely ignored what we have voted on
(to the point where he didn't even vote himself!). I don't understand how
you all can accept Costin's lone wolf mentality when this is supposed to
really be a community effort.
My question that I'm going to bring up at the PMC meeting is:
Where does it stop? If we release 3.3 and there are bugs in it, do we then
release 3.3.1...3.3.2...3.3.3...3.4...etc...or do we call it quits on that
tree and focus on 4.0?
Costin has already stated that he is going to disappear. I have yet to see a
real solid answer on *when* he is going to disappear, but that probably
primarily depends on whether or not there will be a 3.3 release from the
Jakarta Project (as decided by the PMC).
If he decides to disappear after 3.3 is released (which is what he has
currently stated he will do), then I would be very against making a 3.3
release within the Jakarta project as the primary developer is not going to
be around to support it. I would much rather see the 3.3 release happen in
the forum that he is going to be support it under as that will be better for
the community.
Heck, today, anyone could go to sourceforge and do their own release of the
software and call it FooBar 3.3. Same exact code. What is the real
difference?

Please follow along more closely. That isn't the issue.
