I agree wholeheartedly about 2.0 support. *However*, when you
discuss the correct appropach at J1, please make sure there's a path to a
stable and complete jBoss 2.0 with 1.x support on the way to jBoss 3 with
2.0 support. I imagine we can achieve that with a selective build process
where there are separate "build1" and "build2" targets, where the second
adds more (but less stable) functionality to the first.
I would *really* like to be able to use a stable, dependable jBoss
in the short term, and I don't want to sacrifice that for an enhanced
version much later!
In any case, I'll help however I can.
