summary regarding plugin pack proposal

[Brett Porter <br...@apache.org>]

Hi,

This is the best summary I can get from the discussion earlier this  
month about this proposal:

- in terms of having some way to simplify specifying a group of  
plugins: 4 in favour, 3 against, 1 on the fence and 2 that wanted a  
compromise (a plugin to automate snippet injection)

- in terms of *requiring* versions to be locked down: the poll was  
split 50/50. Some said they would only vote for this if there was  
some way of doing the above easily.

So it's pretty much split. It's worth nothing there is general appeal  
for mixins in a more well-defined form, and that could be applied to  
the first.

I'm not pursuing the original proposal at this stage - however I will  
revise in the future.

- Brett

Let it be implemented as tooling which doesn't affect the core and  
people will decide what they like to use.

The enforcer plugin addition goes a long way. A simple tool for  
creating a block with the latest releases I am making now for a  
client. People can compose these tools as they wish to provide they  
stability they desire.
