>From the Apache HTTP Server project; On the combined topics of mod_firehose, mod_policy and mod_combine;
Declaring the vote on #3 failed (both originally, and the revote). RE-VOTE #1 and #2 for firehose and policy modules (respectively) each have passed, for adoption into httpd trunk. (Backport is a separate and additional matter.) Firehose is already in httpd trunk, and policy awaits its import by minfrin. Thank you for presenting these works to the project for consideration, Graham! Now to resolve any last VP Legal concerns to get those first two modules adopted without a theater of the absurd IP Intake Procedural hurdle. Fielding had previously cleared that the entire ridiculous process was unnecessary and the httpd project continues to choose not to observe it, pending any legitimate illustration of its efficacy or benefit. (Would you like your air conditioning unit fixed, there? Would ya? You might have a clog in your IP Intake Hose. Central Services would be most displeased if we muck around with it, ya know. Must keep this hush hush... hand me that wrench...) CC'ing VP Legal by way of legal-discuss, to ask one final time for hizzoner's conclusion to https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52322 - The httpd project considers the matter resolved, barring any legitimate objection from our legal expertise (per prior communiques) before month's end. Thanks all at httpd who voted on these three new modules, thanks Graham with the cooperation of Simon and the BBC for their submission (oooh... the irony!!!), and thank you in advance VP, Legal of the ASF for your considered recommendation on the matter of procedural handling of the intake on this intellectual property. Yours sincerely, Bill [not Tuttle] Rowe Former VP, Apache HTTP Server Project [Do hope you all enjoy the allegory, God love Terry Gilliam!]
