We are not changing the date in this vote. If the vote passes the date stands. If the vote fails we may decide to try again with a different date. Any date we pick will have objections. Users will be slow picking up new versions anyway, and this only talks about new major/minor versions of core after the date... It may be that we have no such release for a while (heck it took 6+ months to get a very small change set of 3.1.0 out the door) This vote tries to set a line in the sand against which we can say "fair notice was given" My €0.02 > > E.g., we now have a policy to make all apps run in Java 7 but this will > take months and even some are not compatible (doesn't concern mine...but). > > So -0, > > Michael > > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Sent from my phone
