The penalty I reference is for the Sqoop community which will be impacted by incompatible changes you are suggesting. I appreciate your feedback, and request that you keep the discussion relavant to the issue at hand without making references like "Cloudera people come out of the woodwork". Please understand that we interact with Apache as individual contributors and committers. Such references undermine our efforts and are honestly insulting to everyone who has spent hours on delivering the product.
