Sigh ... well, all I can really add here is that the projects you mention might benefit from a bit of therapy to cure their control-freak reflex. The reason why communities should reach consensus through public discussion is that, when instead you have a formal vote every time someone gets an itch, you're likely to end up with some very nasty behind-the-scenes vote swapping. Of course I'm not accusing anyone of doing that ... though, sadly, I've heard rumours. Suffice it to say that what you describe is not the ASF Way. -- Brane --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
