----------------------------------
Mr. Armbrust,
You're correct. I do not work on the Commons Net project, or at least I
haven't in the past. But, Commons Net is an Apache Software Foundation project
and the Apache Software Foundation is all about community, so I am entitled to
my opinion as a member of that community. Belittling ("Dilbert manager")
someone for providing their opinion is not very helpful to the community. So,
let's try to keep the personal attacks out of it and stay on topic, please.
I like the idea of having a TFTP server. I just don't think it belongs in
Commons Net. Commons Net is all about *client* code. I have no problem with
this code going into either another project or being one all on its own.
Commons Net can depend on that project as a test-scoped dependency. If there's
no proper home for the TFTP server, then I like sebb's idea of putting it in
the test code.
Apache Commons projects must strive to stick to their original scope. If the
TFTP server goes into the core codebase, then somebody is going to use it.
When that person uses it, they're going to find something wrong with it or see
some way that it can be enhanced. Then, we get in the business of implementing
and maintaining a proper TFTP server implementation. That's not what Commons
Net (or Apache Commons overall for that matter) is intended for.
