Hi Andreas,
I am just a Shiro user and this is Shiro user mailing list. I fulfilled my
duties — opened an issue and gave explanations.
I develop my projects, Shiro developers develop Shiro. I just can’t develop any
library I use in my projects ( > 30) — because
to do it I must give up my projects.
The idea of my message wasn’t "Change the API because anyway you have nothing
to do". The idea of my message
was — "Don’t call a wrong thing a right thing".

Best regards, Alex Orlov
