That's a little better and keeps some problems at bay, but introduces others (as you're experiencing now, diverging codebases). At the end of the day, VP Legal is the one that has to be satisfied. This is pretty far from what the norm is, and is being proposed by a podling, so I'd expect some skepticism. Other podlings, have proposed similar workflows (albeit with extra problems.) and were not allowed to retain that procedure. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
