All, Many years ago, we switched all release branches to RTC primarily to address a community problem where we could not agree on the best way forward for some parts of the code.
RTC served us well. The disagreements ceased pretty much instantly. However, RTC also slowed us down. The development of 7.0.x started as CTR with a possibility of switching to RTC if necessary. It never was. We chose not to switch 7.0.x to RTC because the community issues that made RTC necessary had been solved and RTC added unnecessary overhead and delay. 8.0.x and now 9.0.x progressed the same way. Today, only 6.0.x is RTC. I believe the use of RTC for 6.0.x is causing more harm than good. There are fixes I don't propose for backport to 6.0.x because of the extra hassle RTC introduces. I suspect others take a similar approach judging on the number of fixes that don't make it back to 6.0.x. I would therefore like to propose that we switch the 6.0.x release branch from RTC to CTR and am therefore calling a VOTE to make this change. [ ] Continue to use RTC for 6.0.x [ ] Switch 6.0.x to CTR Thanks, Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
