The discussion moved on technical aspects of local_route impact.

Alternative is to let each developer to fix it how it considers for its code -- but this last solution will create a rather patched release, bringing more inconsistency. I guess it is time to decide: - disable local_route with defines (have the local_route functionality as it is now for 1.4 and resume development and integration after unfreeze) - let developers apply fixes how they consider to be best for their code in 1.4 (after unfreeze, when integration and design is properly done, remove these patches) Cheers, Daniel > >> things are >> very inconsistent there, internal design affected and too short time to >> make it right if we stick close to original release plan.
