Vote results in chronical order, after 72 hours: +1 Peter Firmstone +1 Simon IJskes +0 Greg Trasuk
According to our rules that's one vote short for inclusion into the Jini Specification.
On this occassion there was interest in developing a more comprehensive standard for starting services, I hope container providers in the River community are able to collaborate and provide such a solution.
Unless there are any objections (by lazy concensus), I propose we use Startable for River's service implementations and also allow River users to implement it, if they so choose, so they too may use final fields safely.
Regards, Peter.
