Subject: SOA-RM 1.1 - and then 2.0?


<rant>
I saw a couple of worrying references to a 1.1 version of the RM, in the discussion around the one dissenting vote on the proposed move to a standard...

Most of us lambasted Gartner for their SOA 2.0 hype, and I think we should be careful: a reference model by definition, imho, does not *have* versions: it’s *the* reference, not a reference... We need some stability in this mad world ;-)

Maybe I'm just allergic to the average developer's approach that all the missed bits will appear in the next release cycle but I think we'd be playing with fire to try that with the RM.

If there was something wrong or missing, we would have spotted it by now, we've been through enough cycles on this.
If there really *is* something wrong or missing, we should rectify the RM by a revision note or correction, but steer way clear of versions...

Please, can we avoid *any* hints about a 1.1 (heaven help us, a 2.0) and just STFU on the issue?
