This means, HDFS-347 becomes available in branch-2 only when the corresponding windows work completes. Given that there is interest in HDFS-347 (see Andrew's email), not removing HDFS-2246 will make it available in an Apache release sooner. I am not sure why removing HDFS-2246 is so important in HDFS-347? Is it because you need to spend bunch of time to rework the code to add it back?
