Hi Felix, Antonio, all,

Sorry for the slow response. Here's a quick status update.

PR 6389 / the "explicitly unset" gutter work: I estimate one to two more
weeks to get the current branch
(gutter pattern) into reviewable shape.

Past that, extending the new UX to every relevant field can be incremental
follow-up PRs.
So we have a choice: wait the two weeks and include the infrastructure in
6.0, or cut 6.0 now and land it in a follow-up. Either works for me;
opinions welcome.

On "can anyone help out": yes. Separately from this thread, Shane Evans
(BlazeMeter / Perforce) reached out about dedicating engineering resources
to the project.
Their concrete pain is merged-but-unreleased dependency/security fixes
blocking their customers (the Tika PRs #6556 and #6579 were the examples).
I've put him in touch with Milamber over email. Useful places their
bandwidth could plug in:
 - reviewer/tester capacity on open 6.0-scoped PRs
 - testing release candidates (vote with results) when 6.0 RC is cut
 - regressions reported against nightlies

I'll follow up separately on PR 6661 (oro default), 6610, and the
rhino-engine question.

Vladimir
