Justin Mclean is chair of the IPMC and his reviews of releases are always very thorough and fair. I am not at all surprised that he found issues. Still, I know it can be demoralizing when an RC passes the project vote and fails in the IPMC vote.
I suggest that you let the IPMC vote run for 3 days to see if other people raise issues, then cancel the vote and tell the IPMC what will be your next steps. As for whether to proceed with 0.50-rc2 or move on to 0.60, I don’t have a strong opinion on this. Either way, let’s just keep up the momentum to get a release out. The next release will be easier, I promise. Take Justin’s suggestion to add to issues to the ‘work in progress disclaimer’, if possible. This is a relatively process added by the IPMC; I should have suggested it but it slipped my mind.
