I hear you, but since Gump was a "social experiment" not an ASF build tool,
some of this was reach out. Don't forget that some non-ASF projects that
Gump built became ASF projects, e.g. ws-juddi.

I don't know as much (partly since I added a few of them ;-). Other folks
had the ability to -1 any. We used to run once a day, and as such it wasn't
such a big deal.

We have grown a lot larger in recent months, and are using a lot more
CPU/disk. Further, we are trying to do more than one Gump workspace (JDK1.5,
Kaffe, etc.) As such, maybe we do have to trim down. If it helps with that
that, then go for it.

For Gump to scale (as Niclas mentioned) we do need to federate somehow, but
that is a separate topic & this seems a practical step until then. Folks who
really want to be included could petition us for re-inclusion.

Adam
