Personally, I'd like it to stay under cover. I don't need to get all this drama on the jboss-user mailing list. Maybe there should be a jboss-reality list for this kind of stuff.

I remember reading this article http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9850 when the news first hit slashdot that "JBoss Group Developers Walk Out" http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/04/2212228&mode=thread&tid=108&tid= 126&tid=156. Some interesting comments from The Inquirer link above consist of .. <quote>On our way out to the car I ask myself "are we really going to go through with this?"</quote> <quote>They thought Atlanta pulled a pre-emptive strike. We instruct them to stay clear while we test, tag and push the final changes through to the practice server. I can't stop laughing. We're actually going to do this.</quote> I may be wrong here, and I certainly am not choosing sides here, but to me, quotes like the ones above are certainly indicative of "silent undercover moves" from the CDN members who are certainly implementing plans/schemes under veil of secrecy. This certainly put them in a suspect light in my opinion and I can certainly understand some, if not all the reactions that the JBoss Group has had towards them. Maybe its time for the CDN folks to be a little more forthcoming about their real intentions and explain why they felt they needed to plan and implement their flight/fork from the JBoss Group in secret. Turning around now and yelling foul while hanging your hat on the philosophy peg that everything should be "open" seems a little bit disingenuous to me given the prior actions of CDN members.
