I don't know what else you'd like to have done. It was the stated consensus of the group that these changes go into 2.0 not a 2.1 - knowing full well that it could break directive compatibility. So, I think the notion that some rule was violated is absurd - I believe everything was done in the mystical 'Apache way.' The one thing that I dislike about a 2.1 is that we've stated that we can't force any developer to go to the new version. Other committers have stated that they won't develop or forward-port fixes to 2.1. And, some developers might not back-port fixes from a 2.1 to 2.0. That's not going to be helpful to our users. My hope is that when we go to a 2.1, all developers believe it is time and 2.0 should be closed. Right now, I don't believe that is the case. -- justin
