Brian Topping commented on KARAF-1966:
--------------------------------------

Hi Achim,

Yes, I figured that was the case, and it's totally reasonable but there are 
also people using 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT for development.  The problem isn't that 
developers can't stay with an older version, but when the dependency soup 
changes enough that there's a required move to the latest version (like what 
happened recently with the update to features schema 1.2.0), changes like this 
update to pax-web can cause the whole system to be completely unusable.  

It's a balance, you know?  For a while there, the release of 3.0.0 was 
imminent, now it seems a ways out.  Nobody would go into production with it for 
reasons like this, when the expectations of a release cycle change and they 
aren't fully communicated, others can get pulled back.  

In my opinion, this is the kind of change that should go into a later release, 
that is all.

I didn't file on this because I prefer to fix it myself, but I have some stuff 
to do this weekend already.  

Thanks for the input!  

Brian
