Because they share the same general scope of being math related. The design and the supported language version can be different for each module. > Why do you "prefer" multi-module, independently of the subject > matters being talked about?

If you want to use an absurd proposal to prove your point let me try that game too: Please comment on my suggestion to create multiple components out of every Java package defined in the Commons components. > If you had been contributing to the math codes (plural), you > perhaps would have understood that it creates more management > problems than it solves.[4] Please use foot references for external links only, your messages are unreadable if we have to go back and forth to understand them. > Again, I have to stress on what happened that led me to propose > a new "Commons RNG": obvious improvements to the CM code base > were outrightly rejected based on demonstrably false statements; > i.e. the objections were not technical but for the convenience > of one user. I still think that splitting RNG into its own component was a good move. I'm less happy with Numbers, I'd have preferred a module from a renovated "CM5" project started from scratch as I'm suggesting now for Geometry. > Do you think that I enjoy contradicting you on these matters? I'm starting to think that you enjoy rhetoric, probably more than seeking compromise unfortunately. > Do they want to implement another plan? What plan? Here is my counter-proposal: 1. Refactor Commons Math as a multi-module project, bump to version 5 2. Create two modules: geometry and legacy 3. Release Commons Math 5, without the legacy module 4. Spin-off new modules from the legacy module when needed And I'm willing to help at least for the steps 1 and 2.
