Hi,

We've just committed the patch for XWIKI-1459 yesterday. However we
may need to rollback it.

Let me explain the situation:

1) It's a big and dangerous patch
2) The Curriki project is currently building on top of XWiki trunk
and they're doing some important release soon.
3) They understand that using XWiki trunk is risky and they're going
to branch off xwiki trunk real soon (I heard it's planned for next week)
4) They have some test server and it seems the recent commit broke a
few things. No investigations done yet.

As a consequence, they're asking us if we could rollback that patch
and release 1.1M4 without it so that they can branch at 1.1M4. We can
then apply the patch after.

The problem is that 1.1M4 was supposed to be our last release with
new features and 1.1M5/M6 were supposed to be 1.1RC1/RC2 till the
final release planned for the 3rd of September.

I don't think we'll be able to release a good 1.1 version if we only
have one release for hunting down bug fixes. I also think Curriki is
right in that committing such a big change one or 2 days before a
release is asking for trouble...

Thus I'd like to propose the following:

A) We rollback the patch and release 1.1M4 without it
B) We shift the final 1.1 release by 15 days - New date: 17th of
September. We add one release: 1.1M5 and then 1.1RC1 and 1.1RC2
C) We add this patch in 1.1M5. However we don't generally allow any
other important change unless there's a good reason. I.e. we consider
1.1M5 almost like a RC except for this patch

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent
