I think that even this could be worked around. We have the nag addresses. So we could have a 3 month changeover period in which any project that is still using the old descriptor format gets sent a nag :) As long as the bag was descriptive enough or pointed to nicely documented (or preferrably, semi-automated) process then I think that would be acceptable. At the end of the window (or when you find no one else was using it) you could just switch over. Of course this should not be needed except in rare circumstances. -- Cheers, Peter Donald *------------------------------------------------* | The student who is never required to do what | | he cannot do never does what he can do. | | - John Stuart Mill | *------------------------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:alexandria-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:alexandria-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
