The constructor change really seemed to fix the issues we had. I
remember really liking the idea. And I also liked using it. But the
truth is that it lacks certain flexibility for complex situations and
this is not something that could have been easily predicted. I don't
think that blaming anyone for supporting/advocating the change is the
way to go.
And I don't even thing that it is amateurish. You really have to try
some things and get burned, there's no other way. We are not
implementing a JSR. We need to experiment. And this one doesn't really
worked better that what we had before. Which doesn't mean that it's
completely wrong. It's just that the pros don't outweight the cons. But
we needed to try it first to find that out.
Ok, fair enough. Sorry for being rude on that Igor and others. I agree
that wasn't a helpful thing of me to do.
I think we should have a regular vote on this. One way or another, we
need to come to a conclusion. I wish we could just sit somewhere, have a
beer and discuss this live :)
Yes, that would be nice :)
