--- Comment #77 from Sidney Markowitz <sid...@sidney.com> ---
Since there are no more issues with the 4.0 milestone other than this one,
perhaps now is the time to create a 4.0 branch. The next steps would be to
create two roadmaps, 1) steps that would rollback commits from this issue that
are necessary to remove to get to a stable and coherent 4.0.0 release; and an
alternate 2) steps that would complete this issue to get to a stable and
coherent 4.0.0 release.

That way we would not conflate the issue of masscheck having to be run from
trunk (bug 7837) with anything having to do with the 4.0.0 release and how this
issue will or will not be part of it.

Once we know what we would have to do to get a 4.0.0 released with or without
the nomenclature change, we can more rationally decide on which one to do. And
having the roadmaps will make it easier to plan out and split up the work to
getting this done in a more transparent manner with more consensus.

It may be that we have to put more urgency into solving bug 7837 in a way that
leaves the process of masscheck less fragile in its dependency on bleeding edge
code.

Anyway, I think the action item out of this that is most likely to get
agreement is to create a 4.0 branch. It doesn't have to formally be R-T-C yet,
but I would like to have a consensus on what we are going to do with this issue
for 4.0.0 before anyone actually takes the step of reverting the commits, i.e.,
let's do it with a plan and a roadmap this time.
