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
