This is one of the big reasons what I love and hate community driven
software. I don't see how what Andrew did is bad. Even though it was
personal communication but I know Andrew only started after Adrian and
Jacques showed interest by commenting on the page.
Andrew has been actively explaining his idea all this time. The work
done till date is not blocking anybody, old security system is still
in place. New system is implemented in example component so its lot
easy for him to explain and people to understand.
People have different ways of working in community, Joe is committer
still all the time he creates Jira issue and uploads his patch and
most of time its somebody else who does commits, but that's his way of
working. If we don't do what Joe does then why should Andrew do what
Adrian does.
I don't see any reason why we should start over. All the time we talk
about making things easy so people will contribute, Why do you want to
resist a seasoned contributer for working. I'll rather have expect
community will support. All the time he has been asking people to tell
him suggestions, wish list etc. Why not support him and get more out
of him instead.

Otherwise the effort will push forward with the people who
are indeed interested in improving security in OFBiz.
Things ARE being said. Let's start over and do this as a community.
