Kevin, an interesting phenomenon I've observed is talented people
never have enough time to work on something unless the barrier to
entry is lowered.

I'm guessing (not certain) that simply creating a 2.0 codestream and
opening yourselves up for business will generate more progress than
waiting for people to "free up." I'm not sure who's the "leader" of
the JDBM group, but why not you lead, Kevin?

Personally, you've done much to discourage me. Honestly, it'd be less
effort if I just forked JDBM and did with it what I wanted.
