I think that, being realistic, YAIM is approaching the end of its
useful life. People are probably best employed in suggesting
improvements to the new deployment modules. The obvious compromise of
YAIM on top of the deployment modules - which was being suggested -
sounds to me like the worst possible solution. I may be suspect, being
a member of JRA1, however I have never liked the deployment modules
because it is more code to go wrong which is added on top of the
middleware and over which the developers have no control - however
YAIM suffers from the same problem. Please don't be too quick to
rubbish the deployment modules ("xml/python") solution.
