Hmm... Also, if you look at the JIRA in question, the question of what is happening is also not resovled:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1015 There are no comments, nor any linkage to the commit history. This could definitely be improved. It is important to take the course that Julian has done and see the project as an outsider would. Can this hypothetical outsider decipher what happened? It sounds from Julian and Brane's input that the mailing list works for this, but that there is no good way to correlate that back to the code. I would be happy to be contradicted on this, but I can't easily connect starting from the JIRA to the commit logs. This should be easy to fix.
