Can understand why you would want to branch for security, but I think you should keep working on your deployment stuff in the main trunk.
If it's easy to fold back in, why not do in a branch? There's clearly a difference of opinion here, one in which both sides feel pretty strongly. Out of respect and courtesy, why not do in a branch if the downside costs of having to bring it back to trunk are so low?
If there are differences they should be aired on this list. I see this as a back channel to not have Aaron implement a feature everyone liked except Jeremy.
It's rather traditional in some other projects I've been in to demonstrate contrary ideas in a way that guarantees good exposure to the community, with little disruption.
For a stable project that is not under active development, I understand, but everything in geronimo is changing quickly. Should I have implemented disabled gbeans in another branch? Should Alan implement CORBA in a branch? Since this is the first time for someone to branch, I suspicious of the motivations.
