Errr, if I in my role as RM decide that a change doesn't go in I usually have a good reason for that. This, however, doesn't translate to an implicit vote against the change in 2.0. I didn't include the auth changes because I tagged STRIKER_2_0_41_PRE1 _before_ the auth changes were committed. In the release cycle I didn't decide to include the shiny new code because: - the docs weren't complete; - the code was so new that I wasn't comfortable with it yet. FYI, it was possible that the tree was left in a 'broken' state for a while due to the aaa changes, and that's why we decided to move forward and release 2.0.41 (which turned into 2.0.42). Simply not to have our users wait longer on the bugfixes that were already present. My vote to keep the aaa changes in 2.0 still stands. > And I released 2.0.43 sans auth changes. > > I said, I'm not vetoing without three strong -1's on this code.

Then we can > resume the 2.1 branch discussion as a separate point. Will you consider the concerns of others regarding branching aswell? I've seen a lot more people voicing concerns in that area than in keeping the aaa changes in 2.0. Sander
