Hi Dinesh, While we think that maintaining the drivers together as a long-term goal would be beneficial as it would allow the drivers to evolve together and adopt similar design decisions, we also understand that donating 7 drivers at once may put the whole operation at risk, as some folks here already pointed out.
The current CEP text actually advocates for a phased approach (see "Approach" section): [...] the donation process will be iterative, and will start with only the > Java driver in a first phase; then, in a second phase, it will be extended > to the remaining drivers. > Once the Java driver is transferred, and before the others are > transferred, we will revise the methodology described in this CEP, and if > necessary, revise its parameters and adjust them accordingly. A second CEP > may be required if the changes to the methodology are found to be > substantial. > What do you think of this idea, does it sound reasonable ?
