The proposal/org.apache.framework is clean in structure,
the proposal/org.apache.avalon is not (just try drawing up
a package dependency graph for proposal/org.apache.avalon and
you will see what I mean. Bottom line - this is back to the
question of package naming that we were discussing earlier.
I propose the following:
1. the current proposal/org.apache.framework be renamed
to proposal/org.apache.avalon (on the grounds already
covered in numerous emails relating to brand)
2. that the current proposal/org.apache.avalon be renamed
to proposal/org.apache.avalon.dev
Cheers, Steve.
