Andrew has told me explicitly on the mailing list that he felt he had no
restrictions on what he could push to dev. Those may _all_ be good, but
does he in his judgment think every single one is low enough risk to
meet the criteria for a late date in the release? Do they have bugzillas?
I need all that information for me to make a decision on whether to
include it in the release at this late date. Without a bugzilla
describing the problem, and a specific recommendation regarding a fix
being unusually low risk, or an explicit argument for it being
important, I simply don't have the information to bring it in responsibly.
And, by now it's a little too late to renegotiate the terms for
submitting patches to a release which is so close to being out.
The right time to have brought up this objection was about a week ago,
when I suggested this policy.
Renegotiating it now would delay the release, probably by another week
or more - we don't have the greatest track record at the moment for any
kind of harmonious discussion - even if only facts are concerned, much
less things over which we appear to disagree.
Let's try and have this discussion next time.
Right now, I just want to get this one out the door.
