Adam and I are the only U of S Matterhorn folks, with of course Greg being colocated but self-managed. I'm on local issues for the remainder of the summer, minus a bit of time here and there. Adam has dropped everything to focus on the issue that UCB has surfaced. This likely affects 1.4 as well, but I am doubtful that he will have a chance to look at 1.4 specific issues until late May as the issue is turning out to be particularly painful and focusing on it means we have dropped some other local priorities that we need to pick up too. So if anyone has capacity to take up his tasks for 1.4 (Rubencino? Waldemar?) I'd welcome it. > Will trunk remain closed for the time being?

The problem with the quicksand we are in here is that if we choose 1.3 locally it means we need to backport our features from 1.4 into 1.3. This means more of Adam's time needs to be burned doing this instead of 1.4 QA work.
