Maybe before we get to carried away talking about future releases and more automated testing (which is great and many of us have advocating for and Prasanna has done outstanding working on BVT, jenkins and the test matrix), we need to focus on how to get 4.2 out.
Marcus has a binding -1, so that means the vote fails and we need another RC (unless someone challenges Marcus's veto and he changes his mind). So what needs to be in the RC (aside from the cherry pick mentioned by Marcus). Are there more blockers ? Do we need to invest in more testing before cutting that new RC or is it just that one cherry pick ? If we agree on that and test before cutting, then maybe the vote can pass :) -sebastien On Sep 9, 2013, at 4:47 PM, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why can't we cover every use case, Marcus.
