I would like to draw attention to "Pax Web", which is both a OSGi Http Service implementation as well as many extensions, such as war, jsp, filter support. Yet it is done in a way of a custom extension mechanism (Pax Web Extender), so that if you only use Pax Web, you only get the basic spec implementation, nothing more, nothing less. I am sure a similar approach could be made here, where the clean spec part is at one place and the customizations are "close at hand". > What would be the > benefit for the Aries community of developing these spec implementations at > Felix? Ideally, you have more people taking care of any issues. More importantly, you need to think outside the project and ask "What would be the benefit for ASF...?", and IMHO having a complete spec suite from one place benefits ASF as a whole. >> The only conclusions I see being drawn by people who have invested very >> little in Felix is that we should dismantle the Felix charter so that we can >> accommodate the fact that some people don't want to play with us. > > I don't know why anybody would want to "dismantle the Felix charter".

Richard is over-reacting, and statements like that should be left for it is; an attempt to blow things out of proportion to gain sympathy, possibly out of frustration.
