[modeling-pmc] Use JARs Exemption for EMF Query

["Christian W. Damus" <cdamus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, my PMC,

Pursuivant to today's PC call, it is understood that the "Use JARs"  
requirement does include the adoption of individual source bundles.   
This is great.

As I indicated in comment #1 on http://bugs.eclipse.org/253834, the  
EMF Query component is not in a good position to do this and would  
like to request an exemption.  This component has not had a build  
since its Ganymede GA build (1.2.0) and, barring contribution of any  
enhancements or bug fixes, appears likely to contribute the identical  
build to Galileo.  As individual source bundles do not constitute a  
functional change and are an SDK concern only, I don't think that EMF  
Query should push a new build to consumers that already have the 1.2.0  
release just to give them source bundles.

If, however, a contribution fairy does come along that pushes EMF  
Query into the Galileo (1.3) development stream, I'll be happy to  
retrofit it for source bundles at that time.

Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks,

Christian
