Re: Jgroups versus Tribe

Emmanuel once told me that he wrote Tribe because he wanted uniform 
(total?) delivery, which is something JGroups doesn't provide. Tribe is 
essentially a subclass of JGroups. Emmanuel also told me that he would 
pull the plug on Tribe as soon as JGroups provides uniform delivery, 
again I'm not sure if he also needed total order.
Emmanuel, I think you're on this list, can you provide an answer ?

BTW: we have uniform support planned:
