The only thing that happens is that you will postpone the release indefinite. This is such a basic thing that makes me wonder people are questioning at all. If you change the code the odds are high you break something. Doing that without taking the time to think about will make it worse. If a release is in sight there is emotionally not much time left so no time to think. The result: you break stuff. Just like that. You might then discuss (again) the rules for success or what is important or even more important or most important or more most important. That is subject for discussion and highly subjective. On the other hand there is a hard fact: you break things! Period. Norbert
