I strongly disagree, it is hard enough to get a release out without adding yet-another precondition (Kaffe working correctly) over which we have little or no control. Freenet can be used with free JVMs, but I don't think we should punish ourselves for bugs in those JVMs, if someone really wants to use Freenet they can pester Kaffe to fix their bugs. > but I > have no idea how to fix it.

My criteria for 0.5 release is fixing current bugs, I think all the features we need are already in-there (not to say that more can't be added before 0.5, but 0.5 shouldn't be delayed because of them). I have never really understood what is so great about ARKs anyway - exactly what are the symptoms of the problem ARKs resolve?
