Our project thought it did make sense, but the busy-bodies and rules pedants got all in our face. Every message that I've seen from you today, Noel, is "gee. everything is operating just fine. just like it should. oversight is everything, and we need to do that, so I'm not going to listen to any suggestion of fixing anything or restructuring anything." Every. Message. Your head is in the sand. The Incubator is a broken process. Everybody hates it. Everybody wants to get out of it. Subversion was fortunate in that we had enough support to bully our way through, to route around damage, and to check everything off the list rapidly. Whoever said it before: if we *didn't* have that fortunate fact behind us, then our approach to the ASF would have been very very different. -g --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
