Developing a new standard, whether in committee or not, is by definition slower.Eric Newcomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128310302941718982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080638158547477914.post-2257508841141027602009-06-21T19:48:35.307-04:002009-06-21T19:48:35.307-04:00Funny how you have to be anonymous...

They wanted to move independently as moving within standards bodies and committees is inherently slow. So they did their own thing. Fine by me, few actively use OSGi yet anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080638158547477914.post-49047435009209898132009-06-21T12:09:07.615-04:002009-06-21T12:09:07.615-04:00Yes, I totally agree.
