Thanks Akira and Eric for the feedback and help here. Our gap between target commits (http://s.apache.org/JpE) and fixed commits ( http://s.apache.org/vJB) are much smaller now (from 37 to 15) for 2.6.4 in passed week due to everyone's hard work. I hope we can reduce the gap to be 0 in the coming week. In the mean while, the branch out effort for 2.6.4 will wait for vote result of 2.7.2 for the next step.
