I guess my question is, given the target date, what's the rush? > Gump is tremendously useful. However, there was no intention to get > the "word" out through Gump. See below. What message do you *WANT* to get out? In other projects, I have built two branches - one stable, and one speculative. Should I consider doing something similar here? Given what you have said so far (particularly, given the rather distant target), what I would recommend is a release or two where both API's are equally supported, followed by a period of deprecation, followed by the removal of one vs. the other. I guess what I am saying is that from my point of view, for the moment, Category is stable and dependanble. Logger is speculative and may see minor changes over the next log4j release or so (particularly if JSR 47 changes). Depending on their needs, 1.2 users may want to prefer one over the other. Eventually, however Category will be deprecated and ultimately removed. Is this a fair assessment of the current situation? - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
