I have read this thread and with my release manager hat on I feel confused and/or ignorant.
Patch 3/ has a good explanation of what the problem is it is addressing and why this is important for 4.15. But then there is Jan's most recent reply starting "I find all of this confusing". Jan, can you please tell me in words of one syllable what the implication of that message is ? In particular is any of what you say a reason for me to withhold my release-ack ? AFAICT there is no explanation for why patches 1/ and 2/ deserve to go into 4.15. We are late in the freeze now, so I would ideally be looking for a clear and compelling argument. I'd also like to understand what the risks are of taking these. Can someone please enlighten me ? Thanks, Ian.
