a change in the development process, and as long as there's
agreement on

that.
Bah. In neither angry nor happy.
My impression was trunk was going to be wacky new stuff which broke
existing api's and configurations with 6.0. Much like 5.0 --> 5.5.
In reality that didn't happen - we just got some comet changes.
(I'm not
saying this is good or bad - it's just and observation)
While it's more fun to watch from the sidelines, I'm afraid I'll have
to get involved here to point out that you are wrong about this.
trunk contains an entirely new and incompatible with 6.0.x annotation
processing framework which is in use in the Geronimo integration.
Remy suggested and I agreed that it would not be appropriate for an
api change of this magnitude to go in a 6.0.x revision. While Remy
was certainly the committer most involved in applying these changes,
IIRC there was some support from at least one other committer. In
Geronimo we are anxiously awaiting an official tomcat release with
these agreed upon api changes, so we tend to view the proposal
eliminate trunk with some concern.

Now we are in a technical debate between comet implementation
between Remy
and Filips "designs". This has seemed to migrate into a personal
attack in
a subtle manner.
Such is life when coding. Disagreements occur, feeling are hurt and
email
is the worst method of communicating an emotional topic since words
are
amplified. (Sometime on purpose, other times by accident).
My hope is this too shall pass and all is good again.
Personally - I am not very clueful on comet other than the basics. I'd
love to get the clue - but I can't find and work related projects to
justify the time. That leaves me out in the cold due to this
conversation.
I feel any vote by me would be a bad vote because of my ignorance
on the
topic. It seems others are in the same situation.
All that being said - I'd love to see Remy and Filip agree on comet
and
remove trunk. It would be a shame to see either leave due to these
disputes.
