I would claim the opposite. We need this to happen sooner, not later. The longer we wait, the more difficult our work becomes and the longer we have to deal with the problem of developers making changes, but being unable to test that they haven't broken Ada. Sorry, I don't follow. You comment certainly argues in favor of putting into the tree soon, which everybody already agrees on, but how does it argue in favor of deciding on a merge policy soon, which is what Laurent was talking about?
