My standpoint is the same as in the past when we were introducing the main: If 80+% of Camel Quarkus users will be supposed to add dependency X, then the dependency should be present by default and the users do not need to know about the fine tuning unless they know what they do. Requiring a decision from the end users will cause unnecessary cognitive load and confusion. Having said that I vote for configuring core vs. main via application.properties rather than via dependencies. My very naive initial attitude to main vs. static is that we should have only one of them, probably only static. "some limitation may happen" could be presented as limitations of Camel Quarkus rather than a limitation of the single "static" mode. If ppl. need more flexibility they should be advised to choose another Camel platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
