One problem with trying to be selective, is that it invites judgment as to what is or is not worthy for inclusion, and that's bound to be a slippery slope. I also think it's not uncommon for what appears to be a trivial change for one person, to be very important to someone else. I wonder if the length of the list for 4.0 doesn't have as much to do with the delays in getting it released. -- Eric Evans john.eric.ev...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
