SOAE Daily Notes 8-9 August 2011

[Alan Marks]

When I refer to risk of taking a fix at this stage of a release, I mean
determining the risk of regressions and new bugs being introduced and
weighing that risk against the potential benefit of the fix and of course
the impact on the schedule. Any time code changes, there is the potential
for unintended consequences, and depending on the magnitude and complexity
of the change, we need to build in appropriate time for testing the fix as
well.

I appreciate (really!) that you are working on this fix as best as you can,
but as we're trying to be date focused (this Monday 8/15), and as you can't
give an ETA, it's hard for us to plan on taking it. In addition, I think
that we would want to do a good deal of testing after taking this fix, and
so that additional time makes it even more difficult.

To be really clear - no decision has been made as to if KERN-1957 will be in
the 1.0 release of OAE. We'll decide when we need to based on the above
factors.

That said, if we can't wait for KERN-1957, I would not be surprised if we
needed to cut a 1.01 release soon after 1.0 that would include it.
