Basically the only thing I agree with in the email is that if the Phoenix developers *want* to get out of Avalon, they should. Given that there's been no clue as to how the rest of Avalon could accomodate them (i.e. "unless these issues are solved: (...) we have to break out, and we propose the following solutions: (...)") there's not much of an issue as to whether they should be allowed to leave, but rather a conclusion that there's just no way to keep them from leaving, and that it should then be done with as little pain as possible. One of the issues that I forsee will pop up is: * Will Phoenix developers keep their commit priviliges on Avalon after breaking out? If so, I suspect that the meta-model flamewars will remain (although not in Phoenix), as there will be a cold day in hell before Stephen gets granted commit privs on Phoenix. In fact, the breakout would be equivalent to restricting commit privs on avalon-phoenix. /LS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
