For my part, I don't think the lack of consensus-finding before
submitting patches is, in itself, a problem.
The problem, imv, is that everyone is expecting that once they've
written a patch and put it on a commitfest that it's going to get
committed- and it seems like committers are feeling under pressure
that, because something's on the CF app, it needs to be committed
in some form.
There's a lot of good stuff out there, sure, and even more good *ideas*,
but it's important to make sure we can provide a stable system with
regular releases. As discussed, we really need to be ready to truely
triage the remaining patch set, figure out who is going to work on what,
and punt the rest til post-9.3.
Thanks,
Stephen
