The suffering is in the implication that I'm not already being
careful. That we're not all supposed to be slightly better than
average developers with the apache branding and all. The fact that
it's ok to send me emails telling me I'm part of a "problem project"
because I haven't followed some new guidelines put in place because of
other peoples mistakes - mistakes I haven't even made ....is really
just insulting and annoying.

Unsure what emails, annoyances etc. you were talking about so I tried
to look at Tapestry list archives (I guess thats what you are refering
to?) -- specifically looked for things like votes, discussions about
releases etc. Now I can't find a vote for v5.0.3 (maybe I missed it,
maybe votes are on the private list -- I don't know), but if what you
are saying above is that there is no need to vote at all, that goes
against what has been described elsewhere in this thread as "community
consensus", and appears completely different from the discussion here
(timing of the vote).

I wonder how often these kinds of emails come out on the google code
or sourceforge lists? :/
