That's why there are 4 months on the schedule between the mergepoint and the branch, and two months on the schedule between the branch and the release. There will be time to fix the problems, and the people who commit from the branches should be responsive to any such problems. Of course, people should not rush to check things in just because there is a deadline. If they're not ready, they're not ready. -- Mark Mitchell mark@codesourcery.com CodeSourcery, LLC http://www.codesourcery.com
