There were no code or api changes to the core in the last weeks (apart from bug fixes). There were some structural changes and continued work on the servlet-fw, but that is not part of the things we want to release as rcs.

What happened to good old-fashioned discipline and > self control? :) "self control?" - what's that? :) I meant that marking something RC has more or less the same effect as a code freeze. So it "prevents" from changing and should streamline all effort into getting that thing out of the door. Anyways, I'm a little bit clueless how to continue. Some of us say, let's call it RC, some say no as "things are missing". Now, I will ask the open question right away: who will work on the missing parts?
