I am getting really tired of the tone by some of "comments". Nothing that is being proposed here is ANY DIFFERENT than any other software package or library. As software progresses the requirements change - whether it is hardware needed, or software needed.
No one is kissing off 1.4 users - 1.4 users can ALWAYS use version 2.0.X. No one stated that bug fixes would not be back-ported to 2.0.X, so where is the kiss off??? And if the 1.4 community really wants a feature from 2.1 THEY can back-port it. People making these arguments against 1.5 sound really ill-informed, or lazy. Neither of which is good for open-source development. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Janssen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 7:23 PM To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org; Otis Gospodnetic Subject: Re: Results (Re: Survey: Lucene and Java 1.4 vs. 1.5) > I think Chuck's suggestion was the best one so far: > - allow 1.5 in trunk > - those who want/need 1.4 can back-port it Hmmm, seems a lot like just kissing off 1.4 users.
