Andy is working on a competing implementation to jboss. His own lawyers at his company have requested he not work on JBoss, he was doing so anyway under an alias. We only found out about the competing aspect a couple of days ago. To protect ourselves legally, we removed Andy's RW, we will in fact remove the code contributions. We cannot have a competitor's code in our base as it exposes us legally. It is only the second time this has happened in our history. The mail below is an expression of Andy's personal gripes and bitterness. Period.
