No, it just shows that two different standards are applied and jakub (as well as some others) do not wish for any discrimination. If sunrise gets blocked with the argument "it's an overlay" then, by logic, the Java overlay should get the same treatment, even if this is stupid, unfair and stupid.

I agree with you there. While I'd prefer to get rid of Java I don't let that influence my behaviour towards the project (or I'd have kicked them off my server a long time ago!) I'm sorry if the sunrise-related decisions have negative influence on other projects and I hope that these issues get sorted out soon. Personally I find this debate silly, jokey and genstef have done whatever they could to reach a compromise for sunrise without castrating the project. If that isn't enough it starts to look to me like an attack on the persons and not on the technical structure. wkr, Patrick -- Stand still, and let the rest of the universe move
