I'd like to call a formal vote on dropping the bsf-engines.jar from
BSF3 releases.

The reasons for this are:
- it's not possible to selectively include just the factories one
wants. This can cause a clash with other factories that may be
required.
- the jar is just a repackaging of factories from a 3rd party. It does
not add any code.
- the user must still download the engine separately.
- some of the factories require additional classes to be present
otherwise Java 1.6 fails to register *any* factories.
- many engines now come with their own factories (and that is the way forward)

[Note that previous releases of bsf-engines.jar will of course
continue to be available from the archives.]

Please vote:

[ ] +1, OK, drop bsf-engines.jar from future releases
[ ] -1, No, keep the engines (must provide a reason)

Vote will remain open for at least 72 hours.

Thanks for your attention.
