Tossing in new features into a QA branch is a not so good idea. You're effectively moving to ignore the result of a previous discussion, where a number of people voted to distribute two identical M4 releases, one with Jetty, and one with Tomcat. There is no reasonable way to do that without Jeff's change. Opps.  I didn't realize that it would require code changes. I don't think it's necessary to recut the branch to merge this in. It's a few simple svn merge commands. I think that the notion that adding new features into a QA branch is a bad idea stands, regardless of how simple the changes are and how simple it is to merge them.  It's simply bad form. If we do want to change the decision to distribute only a Jetty build of M4, then we can leave this change out, but we need more people's opinions (particularly the people who voted for two separate but equal M4 releases). I don't care a lot either way. I'm not opposed to the what and why.  I am opposed to the how. Regards, Alan
