Re: The status of JCR-RI

[Boris Kraft]

Thanks Stefano, I now understand it better. I *am* looking forward to 
the final release and hope that the issues we discussed in the previous 
days become non-issues then.

Regards
Boris

I consider the fact that we have developed Magnolia on top of the RI 
a considerable contribution, as we were able to identify and report 
back to Stefan Giggisberg several road blocks with the RI in its 
various incarnations.
I'll let Stefan comment about that, if he feels like it.

 - remove the current JCRRI codebase since it's based on 0.8 version 
of the spec (now at 0.9.5 and substantially different)
 - don't commit back anything until JCR is in public review (should 
happen in a few months or sooner)
I understand that issues like the removal of code are usually 
discussed with the slide-community, to make sure that nothing gets 
removed if someone still needs it. I do not quite understand how in 
this instance, such a discussion was not made public. Can you clarify 
on this?
This code is a proposal and proposals are, by definition, managed with 
the ASF "rules of revolutionaries" that say that the committers 
working on the proposal have the rights on that part of the codebase, 
not the entire community.

At the same time, we are seriously concerned about brand abuse and, 
for this reason, action was needed.
Who exactly is "we"?
The JSR 170 expert group.
