You're assuming I'm trying to convince. As both Simon and Mark point out, we've already tried that with the governance board and bylaws, and seen no result. We also been working on this project for four years and we still have to put up with stuff like this. I did spend time thinking about how to put this (believe it or not), but nothing but being rather blunt and direct seemed appropriate to express my disgust at these actions. I'm tired of being diplomatic and having to chase around after every little decision. I'd just like to be able to hack code in a friendly community and make OpenJDK great. At present, this project couldn't be further from that. If you wonder why there aren't many independent contributors to OpenJDK, then this is it. I wouldn't be contributing to it if I wasn't being paid to do so. -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
