Re: [tools-pmc] [CQ 8763] libxml2 2.9.1 - as "works with" exception to full IP review.

This CQ says it's requested to count libxml2 as a "works with" prerequisite or dependency ... and ... as we know that requires discussion and agreement from PMC.

https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf

To quote from the CQ:

= = = = =
Description:    Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome
project (but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software
available under the MIT License. XML itself is a metalanguage to design markup
languages, i.e. text language where semantic and structure are added to the
content using extra "markup" information enclosed between angle brackets. HTML
is the most well-known markup language. Though the library is written in C a
variety of language bindings make it available in other environments.

Libxml2 is a "works with" dependency for Eclipse Titan, and is only needed when
XML processing is required.

= = = = = =

So ... guess I have some questions before passing judgement ...

1) How often is "XML processing" required? What if the user can not do that "XML processing". Does that "block" use of Titan? Or does it provide a "nice to have" function like validating an XML is well formed, before runtime?

2) Why not have it IP reviewed, and distribute it, and install it, if not already installed?
