Hi All, Based on the vote (3 PMC +1s and no -1s) and based on the discussions in the doc (seems to be mostly positive), I think we can go ahead and implement some of the policies discussed so far.
I have given some of the potential action items below. * Automatically generate human readable reports on status of Beam dependencies weekly and share in dev list. * Create JIRAs for significantly outdated dependencies based on above reports. * Copy some of the component level dependency version declarations to top level. * Try to identify owners for dependencies and specify owners in comments close to dependency declarations. * Vendor any dependencies that can cause issues if leaked to other components. * Add policies discussed so far to the Web site along with reasoning (from doc). Of course, I'm happy to refine or add to these polices as needed.
