What I hope is that when I post a full proposal + source code ideas on 12/4
-- that there will be broad agreement and that everyone will be happy and
that we'll all go and have pizza and beer after. :) And then we'll just have
discussions about all the little nits that may be there. If this happens,
then it really isn't a Revolution (or maybe it's just a "velvet revolution"
like they had in Prague). It's just a process by which I made a proposal.
And if it works out this way, and AntEater is ratified as the
codebase/direction for Ant 2.0, then there will be no need to even mention
the word revolution (or even the word "AntEater" unless we use that for
something else) again.
However, I want to be clear that this is a break and I want to abide by the
process in which such breaks are to be made. Maybe revolution is too strong
a word. Maybe it's just a proposal and we'll see what happens. :)
