Hi Jon, I changed the release plan to not promise that all bugs will be fixed as a requirement for release, since that isn't practical. Some of the open issues were open prior to the Tomcat 3.2 release. IMHO, if they weren't show stoppers for Tomcat 3.2, they shouldn't automatically be upgraded to show stoppers for Tomcat 3.3. Is my assumption that the commitment to do maintenance will apply in the release vote. This is only the vote on the plan, and a +1 here is only committing to help with the plan. Deciding whether Tomcat 3.3 has outstanding bugs that should prevent its release, IMHO, should also occur in the release vote. It would be very appropriate to offer a specific unfixed bug, or bugs, as a reason for a -1. Then those specific bugs could be addressed. It is the release vote that is going to be the key one for Tomcat 3.3, not this vote for the plan. If there are those who are, by their +1's to the plan, willing to try to bring Tomcat 3.3 to a point where a release vote can happen, then I think they should be able to try. I don't think we should have to establish the outcome of the release vote when trying to vote for the plan. Sound acceptable?
