We've just had a long chat with operhiem1 on IRC about release management: The outcome is that 1468 will ship soon but not with the fcp/event-based changes (5kloc of code, hundreds of commits). The release has been stalled for too long, for no valid reason. The main argument is:
13:55 <@operhiem1> Event-based is better in the long run but no one has use for it right now, so it's not release-blocking. Going forward, release managers will frown upon any API breaking change made. Especially if it's maid by paid developers, without much consultation/interaction with the community and with the expectation that volunteers will do the work to fix breakages the said API changes will engender. We can't keep on delaying a release (it's been months already) featuring important bug fixes on the basis that it breaks yet-to-be-released code written by a paid developer. Florent
