What I haven't seen is any good arguments as to why a-c is a step forward for j-c and not a big step back.
wrong question, i think. 'it's not all about you.' the question is whether/why a-c is a step forward for *apache*. if the answer to that is positive, *then* your question above can be considered. but this dog-in-the-manger 'anything "commons" needs j-c's approval' attitude has got to go.
yes, i'm being blunt -- but i'm getting a little tired of the impression i'm getting from multiple people that j-c's opinion is either the only one that matters, or the most important.
As a jakarta-commons committer, I was a bit bothered at first as well, but I didn't even feel a need to voice my opinion on that as others have had multiple times. I'd much rather participate here and help shape apache commons to be a place that's conducive to the existing jakarta-commons. Seems much more productive to do that than to argue about stuff that's already been done and isn't going to change without another board resolution.
I too am getting tired with the argument. Lets just work to make apache commons the best possible home for all reusable libraries and components.
