I think this is valid - users are certainly a equal participants in the
community.  However, I still thinks it falls to the 'developers' (and I
don't only mean coders - I think everyone with the canonical 'committer'
designation) to make the decision about what to do.

They can ignore a part of their community, in this case the Axis developers,
but that is of course at their own (and the project's) risk.

You're going to end up getting pissed at your software
