I don't really care (too much) when things get committed and when they
do not.  As long as the results at the time of next publication are
agreed upon by at least what I decreed about a year ago to be the
minimum number of -coders votes to allow code changes to go in: IE, +3.

To reiterate, a change (even small) going into a cvs tree after the first
RC candidate has been released should:

1) have a post to -coders asking for acceptability, describing the
   why's and what not.
2) show the patch, assuming a reasonable posting size
3) asking for support
4) should be ideally committed after:
   a) 24 hours past post
   b) got at least 3 in-favor votes over any negatives

I don't care as much about #4 since it can be easily reversed if
we decide otherwise.  It shouldn't be the default, but in the case of
the last couple of slips it's probably easier to leave them and
reverse if needed than to reverse and then re-commit.

It should have been my responsibility for reminding people that we
were in lock-down and I failed that.  Life took over last Friday and I
didn't work almost at all that day, and hence pushed a RC1 on Sunday
without the proper fanfare.  My fault for not reminding people what a
RC1 now means as far as lock-down goes.
