because it sends an ambiguous message about which release to use, and
because it spreads out already thin developer resources even thinner:
cocoon, for instance, has been hampered by having two 'trunks' and a
stable branch, and the community has split along those lines, which is
unfortunate.
i can appreciate that commercial users of lenya have investments in
1.2, but the community should not be strangled by their inability /
unwillingness to move to 1.4.
who do you think keeps Lenya moving ahead? The people who are actually using
Lenya (e.g. commercial and non-commercial users, directly or
non-directly) and therefore provide code and patches or community
members who just talk and don't use Lenya at all?
It's a rather simple question and I think it would be good if each
member of this
community would think about it and maybe even try to answer it.
Also people might want to read
http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy
and think about what meritocracy means to them.
