OK thanks for the summary Hoss, I didn't read the comments on the issue to see the backstory. I do think the right thing to do in this case is to reopen the issue, mark it blocker at that point, and in the comment explain why a new feature became a release blocker ... either that or a new issue ... And thank you Shalin for reviewing a new feature before it's released :) Mike McCandless http://blog.mikemccandless.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
