I plan to keep the thread titled 'containers' precisely because *I* don't care whose work gets renamed, while several other people on both sides care so strongly, so it would seem rude for me to make that decision de-facto in this way. Maybe renaming one or both projects should be listed in the roadmap as a todo :) thanks, -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
