It was not me who framed members of the release meeting as having a hidden agenda. To the best of my knowledge, it was a standing rule not to integrate features past feature freeze - and everytime that happened, unilaterally by Sun, it broke the build for the non-Sun platforms. I guess Rene can give the whole picture here. The mail you quote is about what should be regarded a showstopper fix, so it doesn't really apply to the case at hand. Cheers, -- Thorsten
