If it means no more daily messages about object relational mapping tools on this list... then it has my full blessing! I suggest an effort be made to move all the connection pools and all that over there and start thinking up some orthogonal organization scheme. The committers there should have a little more power to reject lame new OR mapping tools (the 90% of them) that show little promise and the standard "HI I'm company X can I dump my junk here" should get the response it deserves.
So thats my opinion.
