On the other hand, it also causes some of our build tools to have special handling code for some edge cases. Not to mention the lack of consistency and coherence in the tree layout (which, then, causes the well-known problems with duplicated code - ie.: specially with JMS and HTTP that could have shared a lot of code). To be clear: I am not saying we definitely should embark on this journey right now, but I think it would be worth to explore it. > The AI is special as its a lot of experiments and need special attention. > > We already have labels on components that are associated and you can see in > camel-catalog, or via jbang. > > camel catalog --filter=database > I think this fills a different purpose: Camel CLI is great for end-users.
