inconsistent and just generally doesn't make sense. If what we have now is good
enough for all the existing packages, why wouldn't it be for new ones? And once
the guidelines are finalized, the packages can always be fixed to conform to
them.
I understand your reasoning, I have pleaded the same on the packaging list, but
without results. So now I've volunteered to pick up working on the java
guidelines and beating them into shape. Unfortunately I haven't found any time
for this sofar.
I really think that it would be better to spend time creating proper
guidelines, then it would be to spend time discussion wether or not those
guidelines are needed.
So are there any volunteers for helping me with the guidelines?
