Honestly, too much fight too see the trees through the forrest.

Yonik has compromised down with pretty much every module brought up, that if its
not stated as "this feature is going to Lucene", if it goes to a module, if the
module can have similar recs as the code had in Solr - that he's okay with it.
To him it's very important that some of this stuff comes off as shared between
Lucene/Solr and not just Lucene's. That's what I have gathered anyway. Fine by
me.

My memory is that Yonik has never been stead fast against modules. He has tried
to negotiate what he thinks is best in terms of this stuff.

The break down comes from the personalities involved. Noone has been willing to
swim to the end because it's hard work. Well some things are hard work. I say
get used to it. I am.

The problem is that Simon says things like, everything should be a module and
solr should just be sugar on Lucene. That scares Yonik. Then Yonik makes
comments questioning individual modules. That scares the other guys. Both sides
retreat to their corners.

Fantastic. Yes there is a middle ground - I've seen it swirl around and
disappear back into the blood a few times. These volatile personalities are just
not finding it.
