So - personally I'd not be happy releasing the Java Broker without the
first change (or some other remediation for the defect) in.  I'd consider
the defect a blocker for the release given the sort of changes that can now
be made through the management GUI.

The other changes (which I made) I can take or leave... the GUI change is
obviously trivial, but clearly not a blocker.  The SASL for AMQP 1.0 would
be nice to have in terms of improving 1.0 support, but again clearly not a
blocker.

As an aside, do we have a document somewhere describing our policy for what
is or is not acceptable in each RC version?
