These days I got a feeling as if professional software products get worse with every release. One cause is a fatal misunderstanding of best practices by the big stakeholders. Looking at their current products, one should ask them to "Release Late, Release Rarely"!

Like to use XSLT 2.0 but fear to switch to SAXON? Just drop saxon9he.jar into JRE's lib/ext folder and you're done! NO FEAR, IT WILL WORK.
As it seems, Marc and Paul (the leaders of JAX-RS / Jersey) really have understood what OpenSource really means: Communicate with the community, understand their needs and thoughts, accept their ideas. I would wish that more project leaders would assimilate this open mind and welcoming kind of leadership.
