The list for what we are agreeing to go into M5. If something isn't
on the list and its an added bonus, then fine. We need a closure
date at this point. I think we have all agreed what is minimally in
the cut.
Maybe we should make the branch like Friday, so any code not on
the list has to go into HEAD, and just have a longer closing period to
resolve the list items. There is a lot on the list, so that would
mean a
lot of merges to HEAD, but unless everyone is willing to hold off on
non-list items, I'm not sure we're actually moving toward greater
stability in the mean time.
Ok..shall we branch on Friday? Anhyone have any issues with this? I
am game.
Friday is great. Aaron expressed the same concern I was thinking
about; getting further and further from stable the long we wait to
branch. Things always tend to creep in.
