Just to be perfectly clear, this is not solely Mark's doing. It is not atypical of GNU projects in general. For instance, GCC and gdb have the same policy.

Mark has written libgcj-specific patches, but I'd imagine he has patched other VMs as well. I don't know what he thinks about this, but I usually consider him a Classpath developer first. In fact he often chides us on #gcj for not merging more fully with Classpath and for foolishly preserving those "micro-optimizations [we] are proud of". As for competition, as I see it, that is your view which you are projecting on Mark. I'm certain it isn't his, as Mark often extols the benefits of having multiple Classpath-using VMs available. (And, in case it matters, it isn't my view either.) Tom _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
