To the best of my knowledge, it
was a standing rule not to integrate features past feature freeze -
and everytime that happened, unilaterally by Sun, it broke the build

here.
"everytime" might be an exaggeration, as well as the "unilaterally" (we
agreed some time ago in the release meeting to allow updates of the
dictionaries after feature freeze) and it is also well known, that the
people doing most make the most mistakes ;-) but I don't want to
continue the dispute about this point, I take this point as taken.
But I want to emphasize that the contributions of Rene almost always
were of high value for the project and especially for the Oracle
representatives in the release team. We learned a lot although it was
from time to time difficult to get his points at he first glance. And
finally, after the "gstreamer case"
I would much appreciate it if someone could, in as few words as
feasable, explain what gstreamer is, and what function it performs.
