Hi.
[Disclaimer: I'm not a user nor a developer of "Commons IO", so
I'm not the most suitable for entertaining this conversation and,
surely, I shouldn't be the only one...]

That's what I've heard, but did not see much of a proof: We have no
reliable way to know where "Commons" code is used. [This was a
feature of open-source, but new regulations might make it a liability...]
More importantly, if true, only a very tiny fraction of those users share
their experience here, so that a quite small number of "regular"
developers end up deciding what is useful. Almost inevitably, the
selection is biased...

That's great, but would not convince (based on the lack of feedback)
a committer here who is not among those users.
The general problem is:
1. The active team is not getting bigger.
2. Those "regular" developers find they have already too much to
handle.
3. Hence they tend to not easily accept contributions that are (or
seem) likely to require time which they don't have.
4. This puts off would-be contributors that could have become part
of the active team.
1. The active team is not getting bigger...
So I'm trying to find other arguments...
Which projects (ASF?) depend on your proposed contribution?
Regards,
Gilles
