You misunderstood me. I was not referring to the fixed nor to the scheduled bugs. I was referring to the statement that every release must have some "overwhelming" new features. > imho Vincent is doing fantastic when focusing on the tough and not so > interesting bugs in the release and would be fair to give him more freedom > to enjoy also some fun from the new things. I know that (and I hope Vincent knows that I know). However, I nevertheless need to decide eventually that "it's enough" for a given release. And while I very much appreciate what Vincent is doing and hope to keep him motivated as the main force in branch, I don't think it's too much to ask that people respect that doing release management is not always a job where you can please everybody at every time (after all, I need a little bit of motivation as well).
