Perhaps, but we resolved several other infrastructure issues on the way to 1.2.2, so progress is being made. We often have issues like this with releases, even when the RM spends wads of time testing. I very-much like the checklist-style release plan. It's a definitely an improvement. But, realistically, the problem isn't checklists, it's getting the releases out to the community where "all bugs are shallow to enough eyeballs". We may release every night, but too few people try those in their production environment. I'd be happy to roll monthly maintenance releases for the team (post 1.2.3). But I don't like the prevalent idea that releases are the dominion of a chosen-few. I'd like to challenge each active PMC member to step-up one month between now and next September, as James did, and roll a release. Whether it goes GA or not isn't important. What's important is that you tap the keg :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
