Hmm, I guess that 'base implementation' is implementation that locates in modules/rmi. Right? But I resolved HARMONY-471 5 days ago and ITC implementation is now in modules/rmi folder. Do you suggest moving it to another folder? Then we will aplly best ideas from counterparts implementations to the base. I'd concentrate first on pulling out implementation-independent tests from both contributions and creating RMI test suite that can be used to evaluate both implementations. Thanks, Stepan. Does it work for everyone?
