Yes, I know. His second suggestion is correct, we need to keep a closer eye on commits. However, that does not negate the point I was making: "[the second accusation was] an ex post facto justification of a serious and completely erroneous accusation leveled on the reorg list. We're aware of the problem, and I don't think we need to make a small subset of our committers comb through the code." I haven't seen any serious infringements to date, so I think a commit police is overkill. I think I can safely say that we will be more vigilant in the future in any case. However, as I said, I'm not blocking this proposal, I just urge everyone to consider if this fixes a non-existent problem. - Morgan ===== Morgan Delagrange http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs http://jakarta.apache.org/commons http://axion.tigris.org http://jakarta.apache.org/watchdog __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
