No idea about cars but I assume this translates roughly into "You are free to
choose anyway you want ... as long as you choose my way?". Can you say irony?
Theres one simple way to get avalon committers to shift across the majority
of excalibur into commons. Make commons actually follow the Apache idea of
pushing down power. How many times have I heard you say thats how things
should run. Funny you have no objection to commons though, eh?
Make the only people who get voting rights on a component those who
contribute to it. Fits in with the "Apache style" if that still matters
anymore.
I have been stymied by "committers" who vetoed things but had never done
anywork and never intended doing any work on something. It aint something I
am not willing to invite again.
