I am still testing the release.  I was not clear in my comments on
RC1.  I meant to leave the specific breakage comments in, but modify
the disclaimer, so it would read something like

This release contains some minor compatibility breaks with version
2.1 in some internal classes but none
 of them are in APIs likely to be accessed by user code:
 the MessagesResources_fr class has been removed (replaced by a
properties file);
 the arguments of the EventState.reinitializeBegin method have changed;
 some private fields in AbstractStepInterpolator have been replaced.


We are in a tough spot with these changes, as they were necessary to
fix some bugs.  I am in favor of allowing these breaks.  If there
are 2.1 unit test failures independent of these changes or other bug
fixes, we should understand them.  If we do another RC, we can add
back the specifics above.  That is not by itself enough for me to
vote negatively, though.
