Pádraic, It's quite easy to call someone a 'troll'. I admit the term 'failure' is probably not fair. However, that's how your competitors, from the open source world, or not, (it doesn't matter), could look at it. I sincerely did not mean to hurt or blame Benjamin who where working on his own. It's a good thing he had the maturity to 'roll-back'. It's just a pity strategically, that support for Doctrine was announced after this 'failure'. It would have been a smarter move to propose a formal Doctrine integration first, then to launch R&D on Zend_Entity.
