Yes, it would be nice if everyone would participate in every way. But our job should be to make things work as best as it can so people that don't have extra time can still use the software. Yes, I agree that vendors should participate if they can. But I suspect if it was a requirement, many would stop shipping it instead.

We certainly need to take into account how people package things up, but fundamentally we have to make sound architecture decisions that may conflict with packaging ideals. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
