As others have pointed out, I think we're placing too much of an emphasis on voting; What we need is consensus, not a majority ruling. Obtaining consensus can be difficult, frustrating, and time-consuming, but IMO always worth it. My interpretation of the discussion is that there was at least consensus on the value of a project-supported management stack, as well as (I think) the notion that it should be kept loosely coupled to the database, beyond that things seem contentious. Assuming I'm not wrong, and there is consensus on a loosely-coupled project, why do we need to rush a decision on inclusion? What prevents those who are vested in one approach (or existing project) or another from working on what they think best? I suspect developing consensus here would be a lot easier if we were talking about something a bit more concrete. -- Eric Evans john.eric.ev...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
