I had looked already, but ok Tim i went and looked some more but can't find so much, do you have links to something specific you remember? The main reasons brought up in the past against it which i can find are that it might make labs get too comfortable here and that the Labs PMC doesn't know how to vet releases. The later of those is hard to understand given that all the Labs PMC are ASF members, the first of those, if its really an issue, could be dealt with for example by giving some so of limit or timeframe a lab can be here doing releases. ...ant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
