Incompatibility to what? If e.g. the API I develop components against changes frequently that's a risk and then the project might not be mature enough that others are able to develop components. And then it's best that committers are playing close attention to all components. But I do think that people other than committers are able (or should be able) to develop components which do not break between releases. > >> No need to stop working on select components and either release them >> together with core or put them in the marketplace. > > If we encourage users to take advantage of marketplace, then we > encourage them to use unstable components as well. That's the problem. Does that mean that all components currently released are stable and never break? And all components in a marketplace are unstable per se? Of course there might be components developed by others which do not adhere to the same standards as components people with deep knowledge about camel are able to develop. But that can only mean that component development needs a deep understanding about the internals of core. Maybe an are which could be addressed. > >> You are right - components are what people are interested in. >> But the number of components will not shrink if there is no decision to >> abandon some of them. > > The question is do we really need to abandon them? The majority of the > components don't need extra care between releases. Didn't mean to abandon them. What I wanted to say is that the decision to have something like a marketplace or component repository doesn't mean that committers have to stop working on the components available. Only if they make a decision to do so they might be abandoned. > > -- > Henryk Konsek > http://henryk-konsek.blogspot.com
