+1, I believe the board would vastly prefer not to set the precedent of making technical decisions about Plone. The Foundation "protects and promotes"; the community develops. :-) The Framework Team is the closest thing we have to a "technical" governing body, so I do think it makes sense to seek consensus on a big-picture technical question and then bring that forward to the wider developers list. If it is helpful, I believe there is probably an informal consensus on the board that we would very much like to see security fixes and releases happen on Plone 2.5.x at least until Plone 4.0 is out. This would seem to be in keeping with our historical "last two major releases" notion. Wichert's questions about whether folks are willing to commit to writing fixes for security issues in Plone 2.5.x (should they be discovered) is IMHO the key one that would allow us to say that 2.5 continues to be "supported." :jon _______________________________________________ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team
