Hi,

At this point, I think we have three significant issues in the release.

1. Folks using ResourceModules via flashvars will get exceptions.  The
population affected is small, but enough folks use them that already two
folks on our dev list have said they are affected.
2. The default template for new projects in Flash Builder is incorrect.
This gives a bad first impression on new users.
3. LCDS customers will receive verify errors when using mx.data.DataItem
and users with custom IList implementations will need to upgrade their
implementations.  The population of LCDS customers is also small, but many
of them are the big enterprises and we don't want to give them a reason
not to move to Apache Flex.

For #1: I have a fix ready to go.  It passed all mustella tests.
For #3: I think we should just revert the change to IList.  No need to
force IList implementations to implement this method.  I cannot figure out
how the customer that brought up this issue got around it.  I suppose we
could ship our own version of DataItem, but I'd rather not and I think
that requires going through a donation process.

For #2: The FB code is assuming that versions in flex-sdk-description.xml
are single digits, so 4.9 parses but 4.10 does not.  I'm not sure there is
a way for us to hack FB with a patch, and I don't imagine I can get Adobe
to respond in the timeframe we want.  What would be the negative impact of
just lying about the version in flex-sdk-description.xml?  We could also
rename the release to 4.9.5 or even go to 5.0.0.

I think we need to resolve all three issues before we really push out
these bits. 

Thoughts?
