Concerning [Math], when the possibility was raised, the majority thought that development within Commons had practical advantages (through shared burden of the development environment). I'm stating again the fact that nobody is involved in a Commons project programming-wise; hence it does

Was it mentioned that anybody would be forbidden to subscribe to any ML they see fit? You missed my point - but never mind. That comparison is pretty flawed as those projects are not tiny components. I'm not talking about the size of components, but the size of the ML traffic. So just

You know that Java has no out variables (as it is call by value) and the final identifier does not make an object read only. So in fact having final modifiers would misslead you even more. The last sentence is a bit of theory. I don't see that to be true for me at least. Following some of

I think it is a good idea make [imaging] depend on [compress]. Do you mean depend in general, or as opposed to the current use of the maven-shade-plugin to half-depend on it? I mean plain and simple depend. Using the maven-shade-plugin would be the better choice IMO. cheers,

Re: [io][compress] Interest in Some Channel Classes?

The current [compress] codebase has already copied bigger chunks of IOUtils and some stream classes from [io]. Whether we intend to keep copying stuff around for [compress2] or simply make [io] a dependency is something I see as a separate issue. One that wants to get addressed, though. I
