Thanks for the respectful response. I'm aware that HEAD release is adversely affected by MAINTENANCE work (hence the "I don't want to start a ware here, but..." :-)), however, I posted this for a few of reasons: 1) fop-dev team might discuss this in light of the possibility of another release and/or RC; 2) aside from the table/memory issues, I wonder what other changes would be included; 3) what PATCHes to fop-0_20_2-maintain were close to completion prior to code-freeze?
AFAICT there are no unfinished works lurking for maintenance branch. Progress on FOP development has been slow for well over 12 months now, and if anyone started work on new features for maintenance and left the changes on their hard disk they stayed quiet about it.
Then again, even the prospect of reading and/or responding to this thread takes the good fop-dev committing team away from HEAD development, so this'll be my last post on the subject unless further discussion is warranted.
Discussion is always a good thing and doesnt distract that much time from possible HEAD development. I didnt mean to imply your suggestion wasnt valid, its certainly worth discussing, but my personal opinion is to focus on HEAD development so we can do a release before the end of 2004.
