When you came into this project, we gave you huge lattitude to make changes to the code base. We trusted you to make those changes you showed interest in the project, fixed things that people wanted fixed, and generally improved it. And we all respect you for what you've done. "The Apache Way" is about trust and respect... Greg is someone who's trusted a lot of people, and I think has earned a huge amount of respect. This isn't quaking in fear... it's a response of... my gosh, I'm only working on my one project and have no idea how much it's costing those people in California to support my CVS account and emails and downloads... he asks that we start considering this, and so we listen. Also the open dialogue quickly ends with a -1 vote. Because of the Apache voting rules, when someone votes -1, the conversation is just about over. We can lobby the vetoer, but more than likely whatever brought that person to veto will not likely change. And even if the person was open to change, the lobbying is draining to the community, the lobby'ers, and the vetoer. Perhaps you don't appreciate how negative your voting is appearing to the community. Anyway, I'm done lobbying for you to change your veta of the pop3-filestore bug. You have the right to block any bug fixes and push the release out. So be it. Serge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
