I know, sorry about it, I was just showing my frustration developped
over years of fighting the 'technological establishment' of the original
Apache Group (great people, but sometimes a little stubborn).

Good point :)

Hey, look: I repeat it: if it were for me, we'd have Cocoon serving
xml.apache.org since 1999 and we'd have a much more stable software
because we'd have to deal with our own scalability problems.
But there is good news: Covalent dedicated a machine for GUMP
(gump.covalent.net) that is a Solaris8 machine with 512Mb of RAM. Sam
Ruby is root on that machine.
I have an account on that machine now and I'll try to setup both a
static and dynamic Forrest system.
Then we'll decide what to do (and also, ask Covalent if they want to
handle 3 million hits/month from xml.apache.org)

No shit dude. But the right way to fight the system is to slowly destroy
their constrains one at a time and without them noticing until you're
done.
In fact, you guys can enjoy xml.apache.org also because of this attitude
of mine.
The hard part is the patience: it takes years or daily adjustements....
but that's the art of diplomacy, I think.
