Chris Nauroth commented on ZOOKEEPER-1604:
------------------------------------------
[~eyang], I'm sorry to hear this change disappoints you. However, we did allow
this issue to remain open for discussion for multiple years, with a lot of the
discussion happening in the past 10 months. Based on past history, we have not
had success maintaining packaging infrastructure within the ZooKeeper project
itself. (It has been broken at various times without anyone noticing for a
long time.) Many projects have externalized their packaging infrastructure to
BigTop. We felt we had reached a consensus decision that the overall best
choice for the project was to remove our own packaging infrastructure.
Patrick and I and others are in agreement about this change, even though we
don't share a common employer. We are trying our best to act in a way that
benefits as much of the Apache community as possible. Unfortunately, any
resolution of this issue is likely to be disappointing to someone. Sometimes
compromise is necessary.
I hope you can reconsider using BigTop. Would you consider raising your
security concern with the BigTop community?
