- Um, so why did you (the sponsor for these two I believe) not also
request their addition in -3 for future-proofing your install app?

Because -3 isn't on our roadmap, for the reasons cited. If it appears there, I imagine we could easily fund the conversion (although I should check with H to see if that was already included; to be frank, it wasn't really even on my radar).


You need to find a killer app for -3 that has broader appeal than just
ICAP and ESI.

3.0 was about parity with needs. It failed some in that regard.
3.1 is about making up that failure plus some.
Is seamless IPv6, SSL control, and weighted round-robin not enough of a
killer app for you?

Not particularly. The thing is, for most any functionality, I can get there more quickly by funding it in -2; until -3 is ready for production use, it doesn't make sense to fund features in it (see above).

A killer app for -3 would be multi-core support (and the perf advantages that it would bring), or something else that the re- architecture makes possible that isn't easy in -2. AIUI, though, that isn't the case; i.e., -3 doesn't make this significantly easier.


Well, to shed some light on things (I hate secrecy too). The core
discussions are all about what we are going to publicly say so we don't contradict ourselves and confuse people too much. Often personal messages between individuals. We ruffle each others feathers at times too. None of which is something people exactly want public. The rest is going through
squid-dev and squid-users.

Well, I guess that's good to hear, but I do note that having a private "core" list on an OS project is AFAIK not that common.

Cheers,
