In all due respect, my initial question about "demotions" quickly turned into a clogmire of intertwined subjects, reaching from breach of confidentiality to netiquette to understanding the Apache Way to wasting people's time and other more or less non-relevant assertions. It never really had anything to do with Avalon, except that my questions were triggered by events there. The problem that Nicola perhaps doesn't realize is that, for Apache to be long-term viable, it constantly needs to revive and evolve itself. Otherwise it will become a speck in history, and not a dominant force of horizontal open-source projects. And as you, Ceki, correctly point out, suche evolution is likely to come from a minority and possibly not from the top-tier. > Anyway, my point is that shooting down a minority opinion based only > on numbers will not serve the interests of the majority on the long > run. I think it is called the Apache Way, i.e. I haven't earned the respect of others to have a different opinion about the ASF internals, nor does my view that what 100 people (members) is informed of, can be shared with the remaining set of committers that makes out this community. Apperently my Scandinavian background of complete transparency is not compatible with the more secretive athmosphere around here. Lesson learnt.
