Re: [VOTE] Ant2 codebase adoption process

[Conor MacNeill]

I would like to try and address people's many comments on this thread 
but first I guess I should declare the vote a failure. Many committers 
did not vote directly and of those that did, while we have some support 
for the cutoff date, (+3.5) votes, there is insufficient support, (+2.5, 
-1) votes for the selection method. Agreeing on a date but not agreeing 
on what to do at that date is not that useful :-)

So, besides the debate about whether we need Ant2 at all, I think we do 
not have a process for getting to Ant2. Sam  suggested the application 
of Duncan's "rules for revolutionaries". I wonder whether those rules 
will work or will the "dampening" effect he suggests just lead to 
indefinite postponement. By suggesting a majority vote on selection of a 
codebase, I wanted to at least ensure a result, a choice, in a bounded 
timeframe. We have been waiting for Ant2 too long already - well at 
least some of us have :-). My suggestion, therefore, is to leave aside 
the question of timeframe and simply try to resolve the process for 
codebase selection. Do you think rules for revolutionaries will work?

Any suggestions would be welcome.
Conor
