Looks like the e-mail threads are maybe fragmented across lists or something I can't get a clear picture. Or maybe I'm just tired. Apologies if others said this already, but, just to be clear... You don't have to repackage jena to graduate. That was never the case and it's not going to be the case. I'll bite heads off if someone tries to roll in some draconian policy. If for some crazy reason some committee decides the policy is to change, we'll get a policy exception. We discussed this issue at some length as a community and considered all the aspects of it diligently. Now there are some reasonable plans and ideas for how to handle it. Resolved. Done. Go make nice things :) cheers, Leo (as an aside, hadoop and related projects are in a bit of a different situation with potentially conflicting interests from loads of commercial parties and that can create tons of pressure; apache needs to guard against making a mess there...so it's conceivable the decision for sqoop ought to be different to jena, I dunno the details...)
