I would regard this attitude as an attempt to divide the geronimo
community in an extremely unproductive direction, so I certainly
hope I have misunderstood his position.
That was an incredibly negative thing to write, and I take offense.
To clarify, it is my understanding that the Apache Software
Foundation will not allow us release software that has a standing
technical veto. There are several standing technical vetos on this
subject, and several of the +1s on this subject are +1 to put a
feature back into the software. I understand that people don't like
to use the -1 but a +1 to revert a change is a effectively a -1.
On the exact technical subject, I am against the toString behavior,
allowing characters that are not allowed by object names, and against
I am against the removal of support domain queries. IIRC you were
also against the expansion of allowed characters.
Anyway, unless someone objects I'll remove the code from the M4 tree
now. The code is very isolated and should not have an impact.
