Improvements, though painful at first when applied, are always intended with the future in mind. And it is based on the past. Not improving is like living in the past.
That being said, I find good in any argument provided. Yes, it has impact And yes, undertaking something like this should be done with JIRA issues and in a separate branch. So that persons can evaluate and assess impact on migration aspects for their custom dependencies. And after it has been evaluated and people have had time to assess impact on the migration aspects, it is time to vote on bringing it back into trunk and a release. Jacques remarked 'sounds like marketing to me', and there is nothing wrong with being able to promote OFBiz with innovations applied. No one forgoes the 'New/Improved' opportunity when it comes to promotions. It brings fresh blood, even to open source projects. When all the viewpoints have been posted, it is time to assess each argument and work towards consensus by means of compromising.
