.. I am an EJB-vendor (and an EJB-developer, and an EJB-theorist, and a
pragmatic person, etc.), but whenever I post here my opinions are always
in this order:
1. What's best for EJB in the long term
2. What's best for my own server, EJBoss
3. What's best for all other vendors' servers
1 and 2 never change place.
