I don't recall saying there could not. What I am saying is that, were one t=

come here now, it would rapidly become the de facto standard simply by
virtue of being here at the ASF. And once there is a de facto standard, man=

people won't even bother to look elsewhere, or bother to evaluate its merit=
s
or lack of them, because they've already got license, so to speak, to use

g
