> Ok I will merge the code then into 2.3, thanks for the update. Also @pnicolucci I have merged the jsf.js 2.3-next codebase back into 2.3, this however means we cut browser support for browsers below IE9. If there are any objections to this - I know you guys have a ton of customers, so a change in a stable branch might be too much, I will revert this change. > > The codebase is more or less the same but it has dropped a ton of ie6 and 7 and even older browser code, and introduced a construct in a fixed head replace (there was a tck issue this has fixed) which relies on a dom construct which ie9+ only support. @werpu I think this requires more of a broad community discussion on the mailing list. The last I saw I thought the decision was to only update the 4.0 (potentially 2.3-next) code base and to potentially backport to previously released versions with a context parameter. I'd like to see a vote so we can ensure everyone is on board with the decision, pros/cons, and default of any such context parameter. I'm fine with backporting fixes, however, removing support for browsers etc IMO warrants a more detailed discussion. My personal opinion is we err on the side of caution. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
