+1 to issue comments. I am working on 2 other things that I would like to get into 3.6 if possible. 1. Fix javadoc to allow Java 8 build. 2. Implement efficient 2-sample small sample exact KS. I have found a reference and started work on this. The current default impl uses Monte Carlo for relatively small samples and the convergence is poor, leading to dubious results. I would really like to fix this. How about giving me until Friday before RCs start? If I don't finish neither is a blocker for 3.6. Thanks for pushing this along.
