Mark, I didn't mean to blame you. When I said 'we' I meant all Harmony contributors. The issue from my POV is not your '-1 vote' but that 2 weeks was not enough for us to reach consensus about this request. I predict that in the future there will be similar requests and I'd like to see us ready for them and be more flexible in such cases. > > > We are discussing the request almost for 2 weeks (this time is enough > > to make full milestone testing cycle) and I've not heard any strong > > argument for having it in mid of May expect that we scheduled it to > > this date. ;-( > > Moving our milestone doesn't necessarily imply more work for everyone > while doing an extra release certainly does.

'Forcing' for me means that someone came to me with a gun and I don't have any choice. In this case with verifier & Eclipse I would say that there is the request for cooperation/help/assistance (I don't know with word suits better here). And I agree that it is a late call and sure they should also be more flexible too if they want the verifier in the next their release. But what concerned me in this situation that we (including me too) were not able to work out quickly common position and were not able IMHO to handle the request in the prover way.
