Re: [Asterisk-java-devel] 0009924: Responses to Manager Commands Should Be Called 'Responses' and not 'Events'

Martin:
 I believe that this change could be useful in the near future, maybe in the
next major release. But I agree with Stefan in the fact that it would be
better to have a complete specification of the protocol first, being
discussed first with the Asterisk developers and users communities.
 This way, more users and developers will be aware of this change; and they
could setup a road map to plan, design, code and test their frameworks and
applications with the necessary time. From my experience, this major changes
in minor releases only generates bad scenarios:
* lost of confidence in the project, what was working in one version isn't
working in the next minor release.
* Some users modifying the source code of Asterisk to keep backward
compatibility,
* more users using older versions (and thus, don't testing new ones) to keep
their systems up and running.

Just my two cents.

Best regards, Tomás.
