Because you did it under CTR and claimed that RTC wouldn't have made any difference. > I don't see a problem.

You didn't offer any of the new concept up for discussion, you just went ahead and did it. So it wasn't even done under the CTR rules. > It doesn't seem sensible that people are complaining about this > months later. At this point I think the complaints are more likely to be addressing the apparent fact that you didn't and don't see anything inappropriate with what you did. > It certainly doesn't seem sensible to put a major crimp in project > progress in order to assure that no code goes in that hasn't been > pre-discussed (except, again, for a bug fix release like 1.1.1).

So the goal of Geronimo isn't to be good, or the best, but to compete with other offerings in the same space?

Don't assume that everyone else wants to go at the same pace you do, has the same goals you have, or believes that the end justifies the means. - -- #ken P-|} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRJQ/OZrNPMCpn3XdAQJKlAP/X89Pw+AlZR0wuvinVfHnkmTIOznbucV4 nGaihOjCvl8mltxri4dXIFnd4eud6neezuhzoP8O5aEkIVUs7+/mswboDLt0a0tp bIG8GZJ4tzxGRgq3DxihK4EAR5RPZYXgP1xHWbuBb+J/SYzZ1Knfo3mQ7gaWkjn5 gB6iofiyPPs= =UnXe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
