IMO, the RM has no more power than any other PMC member. But when there are a lot of optional things on the list... I guess the volunteers doing the work get to decide what parts they want to do. The PMC as a whole gets to decide to release artifacts or not. I am also re-asserting (as I have asserted in the past) that the Maven artifacts are *optional*. We've discussed maven not being mandatory before: http://search.lucidimagination.com/search/document/bd618c89a4d458dc/lucene_2_9_again http://search.lucidimagination.com/search/document/3b98fa9ec3073936 -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
