Hi Ben, I didn't vote for 1.9.0-alpha2 because I believe that current trunk should not be released even with alpha label. So effectively my vote was -0.5, but I decided didn't express my vote if will be 3+3 people interesting in driving 1.9.0-alpha2. But reality shown that developers are not interested so much in 1.9.0-alpha2. Changing release polices to overcome developers opinion is not good for community IMHO, but this is topic for another thread. The only big feature is fsfs7, but the past shows that users even didn't try Subversion on client before final release, so expecting that some sysadmin will try alpha on server doesn't make sense. Even more I believe that fsfs7 stuff and log addressing stuff should be reverted from trunk and such significant fsfs format changes should be implemented in fsx to give users a choice: use stable and proven format or something really new and never tested. -- Ivan Zhakov
