Konstantin Triger commented on BVAL-109:
----------------------------------------
Matt, thank you for the comment. No one asks you to deviate. We are talking
about an issue where specification is not 100% precise, RI takes a more
permissive approach, fix is absolutely simple and can hardly be regressive. I,
personally, cannot think of any arguments against.
And finally I, as a user, will benefit since I need it to be a class (and
probably other users will benefit too).
I'm asking again to provide an objective reasoning why not fix this (if you
claim the fix is not compliant with the specification, please explain why).
> Wrong enforcement that validation groups have to be interfaces
