No Jon - my vote wasn't based on your biasses about jasper, but on the biasses of many members of the tomcat community.
5.0 was supposed to be the release we make togheter, as a united community based on consensus.
There is one jakarta project where "experimentation" without consensus
was the operating mode - and I certainly don't like the result. You may
remember about the division of the tomcat community on 3.3/4.0 - and
I don't think 69K of code ( jasper runtime ) would justify another division.
What do we really have to loose here?
Consensus.
This issue won't end up in a division of the community, but rather in one additional binary distribution based on the same codebase. I can live with that (well, as long as I'm not the one building them all ;-) ).
If the lack of consensus spreads to more serious topics (like a 4.2.x branch), then I would agree it could be worrying.
