Okay. Makes perfect sense.<BR>
<BR>
We should start a discussion on what things customers are doing with JBossMQ that are barriers to moving to JBoss Messaging. This is very important for the messaging project to understand.<BR>
<BR>
Also, we will still need to make sure that any feature enhancements to JBossMQ are also put into JBoss Messaging.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
