I mean, really... how many other projects that are 9.5 years old(*) do we expect to see arriving here? And of those, how many *started* with the ideas and precepts of the Apache Software Foundation? I suspect it will be zero, so wasting a lot of time documenting (rather than recognizing) exceptions might not be very useful.
There were a few mature projects. Not as large as SVN, but still pretty old (say 5 years of track record) and with established community and market position. Essentially in the same category (maybe sans the ubiquity of SVN).
But I say "as appropriate". Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to document every possible exception. But simply to note *they can exist*.
Agreed. Just that nobody else was able to get a waiver to date, and this was likely because people coming in were intimidated into thinking they have no other way, but follow the procedure. So unfortunately there is (and likely will be) a difference in treatment. I guess that's a social issue, not a procedural one (i.e. insider vs. outsider perception).
