I agree with the above. I find it disturbing that, 4.0 was postponed due to QA issues, and we even made a blog about it. 4.0.1 goes out despite a public rejection from QA. I am sure some of the press will pick this up. To be consistent we should make a blog telling that we ignore QA just to make a fast release. I know this will not (and should not happen), but I am afraid we might be reading it in the press. I would like to, for the future, have a discussion of the QA role. Are QA statements merely a polite advice to the release manager (status today), or can we make a rule stating that we do NOT release if QA reject the candidate. rgds jan I. > > - Shenfeng (Simon) > > > > > > > > > > >> Regards, > >> Yu Zhen > >> > >> > >> On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 4:07 PM, Herbert Duerr <h...@apache.org> wrote: > >> > >> this is a call for vote on releasing the RC3 release candidate as > >>> > >>>> Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1.
