</div>So I am definitely going to keep driving those threads on open lists as<br>
well. However, the way these conversations have gone in the past is in<br>
circles, then petering out. And we never decided anything other than<br>
status quo.<br>
<br>
As I'm responsible for part of the status quo I think it's important to<br>
be deliberate about this, not inertial.<br>
<br>
I think this is very much in the realm of technical direction for the<br>
overall project, so at the end of the day should be a TC decision. It<br>
should come with as much feedback as people want, however you will never<br>
get a decision out of the mailing lists, you'll just get feedback.<br>
<br>
The role of the TC is to make these kinds of recommendations. So the<br>
reason for taking it here as well is:<br>
- ensure this is something we could do before icehouse release<br>
- ensure that if there is specific information people feel they need<br>
before making a decision, we figure out what that is, so we can go and<br>
get it<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I agree here, both with the assessment of previous discussions on this topic and with the idea that we should try to set some direction.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I would like to see an affirmative statement from the TC like "We are planning to start dropping XML support in APIs during Juno in order to focus our limited development resources" (or a later release, or "we are going to keep doing XML whether we like it or not") posted to the mailing list for feedback, rather than the open-ended "what do you want" questions we've been posing.</div>
