Oh of course - it's a pretty meager -1, and I didn't plan to bring it up until I saw a strong reason for a -1 on apr :) And I'm certainly not worried about influencing anyone who don't contribute to the code base - but I am concerned about trying to find common ground for the progress of those developers who find their code stalled for want of a new release. I am trying to communicate what are issues, even if those issues are ignored 8 hours later. Even when we disagree, I respect the opinions of all active committers. I'm simply out-of-sync with the the other active folks in terms of correctness, of expecting apr to be 'bug free' on modern OS's. That's cool - of course I'm welcome to continue to run my own private apr, and continue to express my personal opinion of yet another half baked 2.next release. APR is still incredibly useful code even with the rough edges, and it's always improving. But I still have hope that there is a happy medium of encouraging lots of creative work and also having correct code. Which is why the Monday morning tarballs didn't bug me much - just figured it would be 2.2.2 before something useful was released, and yet we would have some fresh bug reports to work from and continue to make apr, and httpd, better. And I had simply decided not to vote + or -, unless someone else strongly believed in a showstopper such as Garrett raised tonight. Of course I'm tempted to +1 1.2.5, giving darwin the respect it deserves (in consideration of the respect that other platforms are given in this community). But that would be petty ;-) Bill
