I would question 3 eyes at all. There is no doubt people use it in large numbers(win32?), and that in the past we had enough developers to support it, but there are not enough *active* developers right now. > So, guess it's time, I'd propose we VOTE to eliminate apr_xlate, and > iconv, from apr-util.

That when we depend on an GPL'ed iconv implementation it infects APR? AFAIK, Linux and OSX use the LGPL'ed libiconv..... > [ ] Drop xlate, drop iconv > [X] Retain xlate [implicit - personally -I- will support bsd-iconv] We have no choice until APR-Util 2.0. When we are ready for 2.0 for other reasons, I consider this a major issue that should be addressed at that point. -Paul
