I don't necessarily disagree with any of this. I think we just need to get the moving parts in the right place to build the distribution and then tune the content accordingly. I do wonder it there should be a separate "minimal" aggregation that meets the needs of 80% of users that is separate from the base + extension approach. Just a thought and something we can mull over later. Simon -- Apache Tuscany committer: tuscany.apache.org Co-author of a book about Tuscany and SCA: tuscanyinaction.com
