Hi Carsten

This comes from the simple fact that all changes to Tizen need to be reviewed. 
Since the review was skipped in the 2.3 development process, it needs to 
happen now. Every developer is allowed this right and the governance requires 
it to happen.

"Compatibility with 2.3" cannot be used as a reason for accepting a broken 
change that wasn't reviewed before. It could have been if the change had been 
reviewed -- that would have been our collective mistake.

That said, I don't expect this to be a big deal. Since the 2.3 development 
process could not accept the offer of review, I expect that the development 
redoubled its efforts to review to compensate from the lack of feedback. 
Besides, the goals for 3.0 were known at the time (and much of it already 
implemented!), so it's reasonable to expect that those goals were taken into 
account in developing the 2.3 goals.

No, that's not what I am saying at all. I was specifically saying that Mobile 
needs *don't* trump IVI needs. I was fearing that "2.3 compatibility" would be 
used as an excuse to break what has been done.

In fact, I am saying that multiuser needs of IVI deserves the *exact* same 
respect and attention as the mobile needs. The multiuser support was reviewed 
and discussed before being accepted. Therefore, all other changes to Tizen 
Mobile 3.0 need the same.

So this is simply what Dominique was asking for: visibility of the changes so 
that they can be properly reviewed by anyone interested.
