And we should be open for *compromises*. It just seems that James PMC and community are unable to make widely accepted decisions at the moment and it seems that this state will continue. Crucial votes, maybe even with vetos, will bring us nothing. Discussion will just come up again and prevent us from moving forward. Having three branches will be better than discussing for ever and just doing nothing. There is a group that doesn't want to work on next minor. Not because it is not a desirable goal. They want to concentrate on new features in trunk and bugfixes for 2.3. I think this won't change. Some think that we need a bugfix only branch of 2.3 to be able to release it at any time. A backported feature probably needs more time to test. Even if it may be cumbersome and inconvenient: The three branches strategy may be the only possible compromise to enable everyone to work. Of course working on a common goal would be much better. But this way is better than doing nothing. I don't care whether 2.3 based release will use CTR or RTC. But I think setting up a roadmap is needed to make the community to understand the goal. It will also make it easier for people to get involved. Joachim P.S.: I announced a vote for today. Sorry, I don't think we are that far right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
