Please try to respect the concerns of others. >From your postings I understand that all you really need in the Vodafone environment is a unicast alternative for the present multicasting. I'm confident that a hack-proposal to add support for this in CVS HEAD would have passed the vote. That would be all you need, because in that case you could apply the patch locally, and be confident that the it would remain to be supported in future releases of MMBase. For some reason you chose to modify the existing multicasting behaviour as well, which caused the proposal to be rejected.
I respect you opinion, but I don't approve if you bail out that easily. I think that ommitters have a moral obligation to show a fair amount of good will to come to a mutually acceptable solution. One way for you to do so is to rephrase your proposal - leaving out the multicast modification - and resubmit it. Please do.
