I think I suggested this before, and it may be a bit more effort than we are
willing to undertake at this point, but I think it may be beneficial to
release a 1.2 "Apache" release at some point in time.
My reasoning is that while we should keep the "org.objectstyle" packages in
tact in 1.2, users may have an easier migration path if they can move to
Apache packages in one release, then to new potentially incompatible
functionality in the next. Acegi drove me crazy when they did their package
rename along with class renames. It took me a ridiculous amount of time to
migrate a small application. Then again, with Spring, what is ever
easy......................... :)
Whether or not we do that, I do think SF for 1.2 and Apache/SVN for 2.0 is
the right approach. For purposes of migration and preserving VCS history, we
are still going to want to import the org.objectstyle packages and then
migrate them from inside SVN, but we can branch and deadend the
org.objectstyle code line after the rename is complete.. thus, it will feel
like a "donation".
