If you will not then thanks for screwing 50% of our users and please
back this out again.
Reverting is not an option. _Constructive_ propositions are welcome.
It is the policy of this project that the release engineering team has
final authority over what ships in a release. It is entirely within
scope to revert this change for 9.0 if issues with the upgrade path are
not addressed. My hope also that this path can be entirely avoided
through a rapid addressing of upgrade path issues that have been known
(and discussed on the mailing lists extensively) since you posted about
the work on the public mailing lists.
I agree with Bjoern that it is critical to address these issues in a
timely manner -- our users depend on reliable and easy upgrades, and it
seems (on face value) that significant work remains to be done to make
that possible. Our release is increasingly close, and it's important we
keep the tree as stable as possible so that merges of other straggling
features can go uneventfully.
I am asking for excuse if my tone was overly strict. It was not my real
intention to offend anybody. May be inside I am indeed overreacting a
bit on proposition to revert with no alternative things that I have put
my heart into, which are broadly accepted by users, which I announced on
the list few days ago and got no objections. I am sorry for that.
I do worry about possible complications during migration process. And
obviously this is not an easy question, as soon as it wasn't solved
during so much time. I will gladly accept any help or real ideas people
can provide. I just don't like to feel it my own problem. I am not doing
it for myself. It would be nice to see some friendly support instead.
Thank you.
