I understand your reasoning, I have pleaded the same on the packaging list, but 
  without results. So now I've volunteered to pick up working on the java 
guidelines and beating them into shape. Unfortunately I haven't found any time 
for this sofar.

I really think that it would be better to spend time creating proper 
guidelines, then it would be to spend time discussion wether or not those 
guidelines are needed.

So are there any volunteers for helping me with the guidelines?
