Count the number of ">"'s.  ;-) I was quoting you quoting Stefano.

OK, how do *YOU* solve the problem that Tomcat 4.0 includes a version of
Tyrex which won't work with log4j 1.2?  Or that the next release of batik
won't work with the current release of fop?

My assertion is that until we get more projects doing proper deprecation of
interfaces, the set of consistent versions of an arbitrary set of projects
will typically be the empty set except for those specific configurations
built by a human release manager (and many times these seem to include
non-release versions).

That would be real cool.  But, I wouldn't hold my breath...
