I would also like to see asyncweb make progress as quickly as possible, and
I'd like to contribute to that effect as well.  As Mike pointed out in a
different thread, however, there are some challenges to this.  It's looking
more likely that this is not going to be a simple "merge" of code but
substantial rework.  I think part of it stems from the fact that the old AHC
relies on its own codec (based on mina 1.1.x) and the asyncweb already has a
good codec that's completely different from AHC's.
We do have an immediate need to use AHC *now*, and critical bug fixes need
to happen, as we're using it right now.  But we're making a conscious effort
to limit the changes to mostly bug fixes, and we're trying to propagate the
changes to asyncweb whenever it is applicable.  Those are the things we're
doing (or trying to do) to make sure things don't diverge or get out of
hand.

Regards,
Sangjin
