It seems backwards to me as well, so I echo Steve's sentiment. The other path seems a lot more likely to have a clean result. That said, I know that you and Robert are very intelligent people, and that I can only aspire to your understanding of our code in particular and code manipulation in general. So we're in an intermediate state, and Robert has a large amount of backporting to do. When that's done, do you both have a *very* high degree of confidence that we're going to end up with branch_5x that's nearly equivalent to trunk, with a releasable Solr, minus those few things that are not ready? Can we avoid putting the entire branch under a microscope to be sure everything's reasonably clean?
