The title implies that it is to keep it in the release you're planning to exclude it from.

Re: [VOTE] PROJECTMGR in upcoming release
Ok, got it. The release process that the OFBiz community is following is based on a feature freeze phase, that for the 13.07 branch started more than one year ago, during which only bug fixes are backported. This is done in order to stabilize the branch before an official release is done. Since the projectmgr component has never been part of the 13.07 branch then it may be unsafe to include it now just before the release is issued. It would be better to discuss its inclusion in the upcoming new release branch where it could be stabilized and bug fixed.

Re: [VOTE] PROJECTMGR in upcoming release
Jacopo, Back then there were already strong objections to excluding components from the release. I recall that Hans also wanted to keep the SCRUM component in the release, as well as there were proponents for BIRT and other components. These are good additions to the feature set of OFBiz and may be in use already by community members. It would be best that you solicit the advice of the entire community before a decision on excluding components from any release is taken. This affects more participants in this project than just you and the committers.
