I recognise the inevitability of this move, but I can't bring myself to vote for it. Harmony proved a lot of things, including the applicability of the Apache model to a huge project involving engineers from several companies and a "specification" you would pay not to have to implement. Congratulations (and heaps of thanks) to all those involved. All the best Chris Gray
