No worries at all Andrew - TBH it's my bad, funny you mention "turn down
the trolling" - the reason I replied as I did is because I have an
unfortunate tendency towards "smart arsed" comments :-) and regularly
have "sarcasm set to kill" and (you've probably seen this ) a general
tendency to "go off on one" about things that I care about. I'm really
trying hard to *not* do this in the Qpid community so I'm a bit
uber-sensitive that I might have done so every now and then and I like
to check "just in case".
I'm glad we're cool, sounds like we might have similar tendencies,
you're dead right on how perfectly innocent words can be interpreted an
diametrically opposite ways - I'm always getting into trouble with my
dodgy sense of humour :-[
I was think grumbling more as a kind of low rumbling noise ;-), but I
completely accept that we've not been too good at bringing these kinds
of discussion to a conclusion in the past, which is why I have called
for an actual vote.
Ha ha. I guess my take it that we should take a pretty user-centric
stance in general. I totally side with Gordon in the view that the vast
majority of discussions should be on the user list with only truly
internal facing things solely on the dev list. I guess too that I'm
somewhat steeped in the world of pain that is "corporate IT" and the
"subtle arts of persuasion" that are often required to move things "that
ain't broke" kicking and screaming to something supportable (I still
bear the scars :-D ).
Thank you - I agree this would make a reasonable model for doing this
kind of thing in the future.
Great! I definitely think having a consistent decommissioning strategy
helps us and users alike - we all know where we stand if we do that. To
date it seems to have been a bit random and "wishy washy" so when we've
said "qpid::client is deprecated best move to qpid::messaging" or
similar the reaction often seems to be along the lines of "yeah
whatever" I wouldn't want an "aggressive" approach to this sort of
thing, but I think the process that has evolved around the move to cmake
might be considered "robust" and "controlled" and I really like it.
Cheers,
Frase
