I fixed one of them at

  https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=couchdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=f36232c8 
(COUCHDB-1711)

and filed another one just now:

  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1716

Injecting the new Mochiweb is a non-trivial patch that I’d say we are not 
comfortable 
adding to a release branch with barely any testing. As much as it sucks I’d say 
we
should ship 1.3.0 without R16B support with big warnings in the release notes.

We should also merge the new Mochiweb asap and get our testing on and release a 
1.3.1
and 1.2.3 as soon as we are comfortable with it.


> 2. Can 1.3.0 ship with known test issues?

I don’t think we have much of a choice here, as the test suite remains brittle 
in some
configurations. We are still on the way to make it better, but this isn’t done 
yet
and I don’t think this will be doable in a short amount of time.

We might want to opt for disabling or working around the tests that we know to 
fail.


Again, thanks for compiling this!
