Hi,

I'm sure that the library interest a lot of boosters. As you have heard, some of them found the context and goal of the review not enough clear. What about starting the review again setting up cleary the context of the review? Could you and the authors discuss if this can be organized?

I realy think that freezing this library will have as consequence the freeze of at least these libraries: ThreadPool, AsynchronousExecutors, Threader/Joiner (both included for the moment in Interthreads), Active Object ...

Thanks,
Vicente
