I totally believe Kohei works on this -- and elsewhere -- with the best intentions, so I see little point in the aggression against the change here. OTOH the prospect of people doing wikipedia-style edit-wars on gerrit with changes and reverts at some point isnt too appealing either. So a sober discussion of this on the ESC to close the topic, while still sucking, isnt too bad an idea at this point IMHO. OTOH a _much_ better point for this discussion would had been when the original patch was still on review. The tricky part is to have more visiblity on that without drowning everyone in noise. If anyone has some good code or tooling to help create better visibility, I guess that would be appreciated[1]. Best, Bjoern [1] E.g. someone volunteering to tweak the daily gerrit digest to: - work on release branches - do a weekly? digest - sorted by the source code module (so some could watch Writer, some Calc, etc.) Could allow QA/supporter guys to have more early visibility of what is happening. Then again, this would need people to actually _read_ that regularly. If anyone volunteers to invest (both in writing/setting up the tooling and creating a group using it) here, it might be worth a few experiments. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
