Hi Linus, In that first moment I guess I better keep things separate it in order to mature the ideas about creating a software product line to ArgoUML. After the maturation of ArgoUML-SPL can be that is more interesting to create it as a branch of the same ArgoUML. In the beginning I do not think there will be gains because we are still evaluating which technology that will be better to our propose.
I know that the future merges will be more complicated, but this will be the price to be paid to the maturing of the technique that we develop. I think the mix the maturation of our technology and constant merges with the trunk tree of ArgoUML can disturb and confuse the process of maturation of ArgoUML-SPL. I think it's better prorogue this action a little.
