Ken, et al,
I'm not sure about other people's feelings regarding exceptions to the Review then commit but I'd
like to request some special consideration for DevTools and DayTrader. Both of these dev trees are
external to mainline Geronimo development and as such have a very limited set of people working on
them. For Devtools I think it is Sachin and for DayTrader it is basically me for now. Based on the
requirement for 3 +1s which implies testing and work I don't think we have enough active commiters
in these branches to make this work.
I would like to solicit input on and request an exception to Review and Commit for Devtools and
DayTrader.

Effective immediately, the development model for Apache

Review-Then-Commit.
Not that I don't like the idea as it may eventually help our community
to understand changes before they get applied and keep up the pace,
but...
Shouldn't *your* decision be voted as well or at least discussed here
openly, with the community to find out how they feel about our
cooperation/openness? What message are we sending out if *you* step
out and change the rules just like that? Just a thought many could
have come up with after having read it.
Just in case there is any confusion, Ken has the full support of
the board regarding this. I'm saying this with my board hat
on. In true ASF spirit, Ken discussed this with the
board before making any decisions...
