Request;

it's really hard to follow a new draft v.s. old draft.  If you could branch
/jcp/index.xml, and commit one policy change/issue per change, it would be
possible to decide how far to take the policy changes.  We could adopt some
rev's, vote down certain rev's, and adopt the policy more quickly once each
of the issues has been considered, and merge back.

agreed to, some of these are cautiously feasible with appropriate grandfather
exceptions, and some seem to be less-than-our-consensus on this forum.

I think the idea of breaking up the policy issues is a good one. FWIW, 
I'm hugely appreciative of the work that guys like Geir M., Sam, Roy 
etc. have done in the past. I am however,  generally lukewarm towards 
these proposals as a whole.
