That sounds very reasonable. Thank you, Pierre, for raising this point. I suspect many of our older issues are no longer relevant and are unlikely to be addressed at this stage.

Also, does anyone know if this is a standard practice in other Apache projects? Joe Witt <[email protected]> schrieb am Di., 23.
