Well, the way Apache is structured, it is impossible to say that 3.x is no longer supported. If three PMC members were to show an interest in expanding it in the future (say myself, Costin, Henri), then the rest would have a hard time blocking commits to that branch ;). I would go for something like "The 3.x.x line is unlikely to have another release", instead of "not supported" as a result. Especially since I plan to answer the occational 3.3 question on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think (but haven't checked) that I've closed all of the 3.3.x issues in bugzilla. The remaining issues are against 3.2.x, which was dead five years ago. Otherwise, I seriously doubt that I could get 3 PMC members to vote +1 on any commit I might want to make to the 3.3.x branch, much less find 3 for a release. So I'm going to give this [PROPOSAL] my +1. > Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
