Well maybe - just maybe - you may consider that the people who try to give you some advice have been dealing with exactly those type of contributors for the last couple of years, while IBM (according to your own words was not the best citizen in the Ooo community ecosystem). Btw. I have mot seen anybody stating such statements as you quote. The only thing i saw was people pointing to risks. You may ignore a certain amount of risks, but finally these sum up. You need not care about me (I'm not an apache committer) but it's sad that you even try to ignore those people who are strongly committed to OOo at apache. regards, André PS: again a scnr: http://geekandpoke.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d3df553ef01538f1979c0970b-pi
