Aside from wondering how dropping JDK 7 support was not breaking the same promise, my message to Toni would be roughly the same as Michael's .. stop making promises you expect others to keep for you. ASF is a do-ocracy, not a do-not-ocracy. The proposal is also already more conservative than some people are pushing for, and designed to advertise in advance what we're doing, in order to support and foster trust of platform users. They're a high priority for me too, although I'm also contributing because I'd like it to have a future ... > I cannot let that "just" happen. ... If the Apache NetBeans project does not listen to its most active current contributors (eg. [1]), or find other people prepared to take on their workload, then it has no future! That really is of no use to platform users. And I'm not prepared to let that "just" happen without trying to do something about it. If you can propose an alternative that in particular Matthias, Michael and Laszlo would all support, and that addresses their concerns, then maybe we might actually be able to find a consensus way forward! https://github.com/apache/netbeans/graphs/contributors Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
