Hi, At work we have a need for backporting the JCR-2699 improvements back to the 2.1 and 2.0 branches. I'd like to push these changes to our maintenance branches and push them out in the 2.1.2 and 2.0.3 patch releases. This would be against our preference to avoid other than low-risk bugfix changes in patch releases, but I believe the benefits of the JCR-2699 improvements outweight the increased risk of regressions. The changes are internal to jackrabbit-core, so there won't be any deployment impact or potential for backwards-compatibility issues.
Unless anyone objects, I plan to cut both of these releases early next week. See the issue tracker for the other fixes targeted for these patch releases, and feel free to tag other (already fixed) issues for backporting if you think they should be included. BR, Jukka Zitting
