Some of the WS projects are inter-depending , some of them don't have enough developers. With my past experience on Woden I'm completely agree with facts mentioned in the original proposal [1] also I believe this is an important move we made. I accept there can be exceptional cases those who want to live alone, I'm not sure whether we can use kind of a filtering mechanism for them or create a separate list for them .
BTW do you think asking to redo this change only because of a one project is a good option ? [1] - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-commons-dev/201010.mbox/%[email protected]%3e Thanks !
