We constantly run into situations, where a new feature is introduced just before the branching of a major version and then the one month of time for the broader testing community to exercise it is not enough. A clear recent example is the theming rework. Yes, Java instrumentation doesn't have the same level of visibility as theming, but if we started making exceptions we would be spending a disproportionate amount time evaluating what goes through because in fairness it would need committee rather than dictatorial decision making. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
