Hello, Berin!
I'm sorry you had to write this doc because of me. In fact most of that you have written would have been evident without saying to an individual intellectual enough. I just did not write this in my mail but I wanted to, that I understand that the framework does have a _natural_ resistance to changes.
It wasn't strictly because of you. There are some long time issues that have been around for a while, and I wanted to provide some guidelines that I wanted us to put together so that we don't keep revisiting the same things over and over.
You aren't the first one to meet with resistance on the first guideline, and won't be the last. I am putting some words behind the "High Esteem" principles, and trying to make things run a bit smoother. One shouldn't need an asbestous (sp?) suite to develop on Avalon.
The problem with WriteProtectable proposal was that I hoped the change would be incremental but it turned out not to be such.
There are a million ways of doing things, and we sometimes need to limit our options. No hard feelings, mate.
As for the current refactoring attempt of LoggerManager it has gone completely side-by-side with the existing code, it was built as an alternative implementation in parallel.
Excellent.
Maybe my trouble is that I hurry too much..
Hope to give you no gray hairs in the future :-)
No need to appologize. We all hurry at times. We are walking the balance between mercelessly refactoring things and providing stability. Just a brief note about what/how you are doing things is enough to put our minds at ease.
