Yes and no. Yes, we are independent and have our own guidelines. No, since sitting in the glass house (having bought a new laptop and testing every rc from alsa) I do not want to throw stones. jeje. We need to get the blockers fixed. Since the proxy issue is a blocker (we all agree on it), so we need to fix it before doing the release of 1.4. Yes, if we have half a year of freeze then this would be a clear indicator that the project has the problem to focus on doing the release (fixing the blocker). The freeze tries to concentrate the community attentions to the blockers and critical issues that needs to be attended before doing the release. This is my personal interpretation but the important thing for the freeze is to get the release done (on the temporally cost of new features). salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
