I intentionally worked on this patch to get it ready for 2.1 in advance, because the discussion was concluded and everybody seemed to be in agreement. I again think this jira, which is an improvement, does not qualify as 2.1.0-beta blocker. The patch attached came on 11th of June. There is no need to block the release for this change; especially considering this can be done without breaking compatibility. As regards working on content to be included in the next release, you had no qualms about arguing for excluding some of the features that were being developed for more than 7-8 months for a planned 2.x release stream. Not sure why the current release, for which we already had discussion about what feature set to be included, should be blocked for a content that was not brought up earlier. was (Author: sureshms): bq.
