I had a look at the patch today... my impression is that a large part of it
is renaming constants and removing deprecations,
the constants bit is actually propagating itself quite a bit inflating the
size of the patch significantly.
And then there are the actual changes, which might be, gut feeling (did not
count) 30Kb maybe?
The thing is, I don't understand squat about them, so I cannot judge how
risky they are.
This is the way I see it. If we have serious bugs that can prevent users to
use GeoServer in its *default configuration*
then we cannot release this as a RC, if they are affecting only the
sec-jdbc module then I'd propose we go
on and kick that module out of the release for this release.
So please, can somebody point reports of issues with the *default
configuration*, show how
they can affect users, what workarounds are there, if any?
Cheers
Andrea
