I think Matt's comment was entirely reasonable. The whole point of a 1.0 release is to "freeze" the API. If the API isn't right, then people certainly should speak up *before* the API freeze. Of course it is better to speak up well before then if possible, but a release proposal is bound to prompt people to get around to voicing that concern they have had kicking around in the back of their mind for a while. Anyone raising the prospect of a release should be expecting this sort of thing. It looks to me, as an outsider, like the concensus is that the existing interface *is* ok, but as a commons committer I hope that everyone will give it serious consideration, and not ignore it as "too late". It is perfectly valid to change APIs before 1.0 (keeping compatibility is *desirable* but not mandatory). It's certainly better than being stuck with the wrong API post-1.0.
