See the survey we did where people comment that they want the API
stable. http://camel.apache.org/camel-30-roadmap.html (link on top of
this page) We have not recently put our a survey to ask for feedback
in the community if they want bigger API changes in the 2.x, that will
break backwards compatibility.
Do you really dsitill the community will out of a single comment from
the survey? I believe that there can be many people who want a stable
API but the only reference I found in the survey was one single comment.
Neither have this been discussed in the @dev / among the entire Camel
team. Instead Christian just carried out doing this work as a "rouge
soldier on a mission". With no intend to stop. This is disrespectful
for the community, and for other Camel team members.
I started some threads about possibly problematic changes. For any API
breakage I also had an issues where mainly you commented a lot. I
reacted on change requests. The more problematic changes I posted as
patches first and committed as the dicussion showed an agreement. So
please stop saying that I don´t discuss things.
In the start of this year, when we talked about dropping support for
JDK5 and Spring 2.x, we discussed this on @dev first.

Then we had a vote. And we put out a message to the community ahead of
time
http://camel.apache.org/2011/02/09/camel-270-drops-support-for-java-15.html
This time, none of this happened.
The 2.9 release is not out. So we can still tell the community what to
watch out for.
