First, separating Assembly and Policy is possible and it is not hard to achieve technically speaking. Fabric3 has already done this as both Policy and WS Binding features can be removed from the runtime by simply deleting three JAR files. Architecturally, Policy and WS Binding support are added to Fabric3 via OSGi-based modularity.This allows for a separation of concerns that, in my opinion, should also be reflected in the specifications.
Second, we haven't discussed this before with the benefit of actual SCA implementation experience. This is an issue that has the support of at least Fabric3, Siemens, and TIBCO. It's worthy of discussion and not a waste of time.
I'm sorry you feel this topic is not a productive use of your time and have nothing to contribute to the technical discussion.

We have discussed this before. SCA Assembly and SCA Policy are intertwined and hard to separate.
We also discussed the separation of Assembly from the WS Bindings and, after a long discussion,
decided against it. There is no new news. Let's not waste our time.

Hi,I would like to have an item placed on the agenda to discuss removing the dependencies on the SCA Policy and SCA Web Services Binding specifications from the Assembly specification. I have discussed this already with some TC members but it would be good to begin wider discussions.
