I think so. The reality is.. no one really knows wtf it's meant to do. So
how can we support it?

I'm in favour of commenting the entire method out, with a note that it
will be reviewed for the next release. That way it won't go in a build
etc, but we'll do the legwork of finding out who submitted it and what
their requirements are.

My view was that if Pete submitted the patch, we'd push it, but if he
hadn't then I wasn't going to hassle him. That though was because we were
aiming for last Friday. I'll send him a note asking if he's got the patch
ready.

As far as I know all we have is the promise of a patch. Did I miss it
being submitted?

We don't have today as a goal per se. It's really a question of getting
the todo's off the list so we can go for an rc2. That said, if you want to
wait for something then we should. You can -1/delay a release at any time,
even if you +1'd it previously [which was so long ago]. At least that's my
interpretation :)

Basically, what do we do with the CVS one [yank sounds good] and is 4 a
bug or something screwed up on the user's side. Or a versioning issue.
