Perhaps, if you want to simplify, close() should just commit and NEVER wait for 
merges. If someone wants that, he can call commit() + waitForMerges().
{quote}

I think you mean waitForMerges(), then commit()?  Else the merges aren't 
committed...

I think this idea (close simply closes) makes sense!  But:

Would close() throw an exception if there were pending (uncommitted, 
un-rolled-back) changes?  Ie to avoid the obvious trap of users on upgrading 
assuming close still implicitly calls commit else they silently lose their 
changes.

Also if merges are still running I think close() should throw an exception, 
else CMS will be silently starved (never able to complete a large merge) for 
apps that open IW, add/update some docs, commit, close.  We'd need to open up a 
"stopAllMerges" call.
