1) I think this is a bit dangerous to do in RC so close to the final 4.5 release, it's
relatively easy to introduce a regression by fixing deprecation calls.
2) The idea is that all our energy is focused on finishing 4.5 and releasing it ASAP
That said, I'm fine with whatever the majority wants.
BTW on the same idea, I think we need to organize a PullRequest Day after we start 5.0 to
reduce the # of open PR/patches and favor contributions.

Maybe replace it with something else, like fixing deprecated calls. On 02/02/2013 09:55 AM, Vincent Massol wrote:
Good question. Since we still haven't released XWiki 4.5 final, I think we should
drop it and replace it with the weekly BFD starting 21st
WDYT? Hi devs,
We've closing the 4.x cycle and here's the result of bugs fixed vs bugs created
during the past 360 days:

As you can see:
* More issues were created than fixed: 919 created vs 844 fixed
* During the whole time, the red has been winning
What this means is that overall we're loosing the quality war. Of course bugs are not
evenly distributed and it may happen that created bugs are peripheral but they're
still bugs and since they've been reported they have affected users…
Thus I propose that for the 5.x cycle we take some drastic action and do a Bug Fixing Day
every week in en effort to have green be the default (ie more bugs fixed than created).
At least it would be great if we could try it for a while and see how it goes.
If you agree, what about doing that every Thursday, starting with the 21st of
February(since 11th is the final 4.5 release)?
WDYT?
Sounds good. What happens with the monthly BFD that was supposed to
happen on the 7th?
