_Using_ a commons component in another jakarta project is a huge commitment to that component. The rule is there to make people know that they can use a commons component without fear. The rule allows people that use a component to get more involved in it's development - including by vote and review of the code and vetoing change that are wrong. That's what makes commons successfull IMHO. Changing that will turn it into avalon - who may have nice code, but most people prefer to reimplement the code rather than using it. ( and don't tell me that it's the fault of the mean people who just want to reinvent the wheel. The fact that commons got where it is today proves that we can share code ) Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
