The discussion Flavia started about the process around the proposed
wildfly-ai-feature-pack[1] got me thinking a bit about how we are using
wildfly-extras.
The basic concept when we started that was it would be used for:
1) Projects that are incubating.
2) Some vague idea around the notion of things that are out of the
mainstream for the overall WildFly project. Perhaps something meant for
more specialized use, etc.
But now we have some things in there that are not incubating and are very
mainstream. In particular, WildFly Glow now maintains knowledge of a set of
feature packs it uses when making suggestions, and that includes feature
packs housed in wildfly-extras.
Is it time to move some things to the main 'wildfly' organization,
particularly these feature packs Glow uses? Going forward should that be a
criteria for inclusion in Glow recommendations? (At least that we have
decided something is ready to be moved. The actual move is just a detail.)
I don't know if cleaning this up would provide any greater freedom to
experiment with things in wildfly-extras without following the feature dev
process. Probably not, at least not for things that the WildFly project in
general will be promoting.
