Yes - and I still think that talk of a release is a bit premature right now.

The key things that I believe we need to focus on are

 a) stability and

 b) completeness.

 c) reliability (which may be 'stability')

(and not always in that order :)


Things I'd like to see us do :

1)  We need to drive to fully working unit tests for both DRLVM and
classlib  (using DRLVM).  Great progress has been made in this area, and
 we should probably make this a "campaign" for DRLVM as we did for
classlib.

2) Add stress tests

3) Get our CC-based build-test framework patched and running on as many
platforms as possible, reporting breakage into the list.

4) Identify problem areas and focus on them.  For example, threading in
DRLVM...

I do think of us having a 'zero regression' policy except in cases where
we make the explicit decision to break.  (like we did with TM, for example)

+1 for 'zero regression' unless explicitely agreed

Thanks,
Mikhail

Well, we'll need Windows XP and RHEL as well.
