I'm not "refusing" to commit to a branch. Facts: A) The PMC voted to use trunk, not a branch in February for 4.0. I have asked for a 4.0 branch and the vote from February to be reconsidered. B) Because the changes rely on masscheck/ruleqa which runs only on trunk. There are only a few of the developers on the project familiar with masscheck/ruleqa at this point. There is no need to insinuate otherwise and others can see you are well aware of this issue from the ticket YOU opened: https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7837 > By implementing the changes directly, and piecemeal, in trunk, the > obvious hope is that .... Don't invent nonsense for the motives behind the code change. The hope is by committing the changes needed for whitelist_to, we can establish the roadmap for all the other options, what effect it has on masscheck/ruleqa, how it will work in a system where we publish one ruleset but try and support versions > 10 years old. Right now, I'm waiting for the next ruleset to be published so we can make sure it does what we want for 3.3.x to 3.4.x as well as 4.0.0. Regards, KAM -- Kevin A.
