Last time I looked it required not insignificant amounts of work to get the broker to work properly with later version of MINA, in part because of dependencies our code had on how MINA allocated and re-used ByteBuffers. This points to our fundamental problem which is our overly tight coupling on (a particular version of) MINA. Relaxing that coupling to allow for an upgrade would be a prelude to any work on the I/O layer in general I think... So If the proposal was phrased as: Should we reduce the coupling between our code and MINA such that it is possible for us to upgrade MINA, then my answer would be yes :-) Hope that helps, Rob
