The discussions preceding this patch are in several different places. I can summarize them on the wiki. FWIW, the original discussion thread is here: http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit-contributors/browse_thread/thread/ebca7dc3b6171ea9/0b7c699b5775c046?lnk=raot The initial patch coming out of that discussion is here: http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/143811/show Seeing the actual patch seems to have gotten people to really think about the compatibility breakage involved in changing the primary linker selection, as discussed here: https://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit-contributors/browse_thread/thread/bd7936cd2f323484/87009f6a5c5b6606?lnk=raot&pli=1 Everyone then very quickly agreed to go back to when-linker-added, which is this patch. This one is a lot simpler and is better about compatibility. Lex -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
