We have never adopted a formal position of having everyone be a committer and PPMC member. So if we did not change anything, we would still not have such a policy. I'm not arguing against the status quo of not having such a policy. Ross is arguing for adopting such a policy. I disagree with that change. I think we should continue to take it case-by-case, at the PPMC's discretion, assigning roles as we see appropriate. It may continue to be the case that it is usually appropriate to have people assigned both roles at once. But I see no reason to introduce a new rule to force that decision, when we've never had such a rule before. -Rob > Given you agree there is no current harm, and given that the problem you > appear to be addressing is arguably not one Apache expects to arise given The > Apache Way, is there really a problem with waiting until graduation (at the > earliest) to adjust this project's governance? > > S. > > >
