I didn't actually answer your question. Let me give you an example: "Refactor DBMS support for JNDI datasources": http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1309 This feature was very simple to implement, and it is committed in the trunk already. Unfortunately, it just missed the 1.4 'deadline'. Who wants to use it will have to wait for Jackrabbit 1.5 (unless they use 'nightlies', which is dangerous). Having a better test suite would allow shorter release cycles. If we had a two week release cycle, JCR-1309 would be available next week. Maybe this particular feature would still be marked 'experimental', but it would be included in a release. Regards, Thomas
