Subject: Re: [VOTE] Release Plan for Tomcat 3.3 (final release)
Okay, okay ... let's not start getting goofy here. As I don't remember
Larry every insinuating that his decision to release was simply to "keep
up with 4.0", let's leave the rather insulting and uninformed
speculation at home, shall we?
Knowing Larry, I'm not inclined to think that his decision to release
was based on something as trivial as tree politics, and I don't really
appreciate the insinuation that our release managers are so petty as to
sacrifice quality for mindshare over some overblown internal dispute.
Quite frankly, he doesn't have to explain himself to me ... if he thinks
it's ready to go, then as Pier said, I trust him implicitly. You'll have
to forgive me if I accept the word of a longtime Tomcat hacker over your
half-assed second-guessing. If you have some specific technical reasons
why you don't believe that 3.3 is adequately prepared for an RC cycle,
then bring that. Just because you're not a committer doesn't mean that
valid points will be ignored. But If you want to sit here and talk in
vaguarities and spin political jive, taking thinly-veiled pot-shots at
my comrades, then you could really just spare us all the wasted bandwidth.
