Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-7534:
-------------------------------------
We had this discussion before, and it seems we're back to there again.
As always, the project provides an working setup according to the collective
and agreement of the community. That is the baseline. We have - with respect to
the database drivers - never had feedback (as far as I can remember) that the
drivers we suggested did not work.
We - the project- doesn't know what every environment is on which OFBiz will
be implemented by adopters. That is why we have this 'Please check that this
version is appropriate for you!' statement as a safeguard. Which is also
applicable to every external library download suggestion we provide. And it is
similar to the statement we use, when we communicate a new release.
