I agree, too. The last thing I want is to hold up the 2.1.10. If I had known what I stirred up here, I would not have started it. I apologize for the short time for discusion and vote but the idea was to get it into 2.1.10. Otherwise it will stay forever. Personally I think trunk is still too immature and unapproachable that there must a way open for 2.1.11+ release. I have nothing against staying JDK1.3 compatible, only I doubt that is is still useful. I think it is simply a non-issue, and we are making life unnecessarily hard for ourselves. Hands up, who has still a working 1.3 JVM on his computer to support it? If we weren't nailed down with trunk == 2.2, it would be sensible to save face by calling the 2.1.1 already 2.2. But that is too late now... I am not so firm in ASF rules. Does the one who called the vote have the right to withdraw the motion? Or does somebody else want to call a vote to undo this vote? Cheers, Alfred.
