Hi Mav: It is the policy of this project that the release engineering team has final authority over what ships in a release. It is entirely within scope to revert this change for 9.0 if issues with the upgrade path are not addressed. My hope also that this path can be entirely avoided through a rapid addressing of upgrade path issues that have been known (and discussed on the mailing lists extensively) since you posted about the work on the public mailing lists. I agree with Bjoern that it is critical to address these issues in a timely manner -- our users depend on reliable and easy upgrades, and it seems (on face value) that significant work remains to be done to make that possible. Our release is increasingly close, and it's important we keep the tree as stable as possible so that merges of other straggling features can go uneventfully. Robert
