Absolutley true. In the past we have often enough done decisions during RC phase and to me that kind of stuff is actually a reason for having RC. To have people test the thing which is no longer a continuosly fast moving target....once again, no new featres once RC is out, not at any prior time anybody feels fine. Yet in cases where we know we will be having trouble, it is actually a good idea to solve things as soon as possible. Obviously this endless thread. Statistics: 80 mails so far in that thread for me, 75 on internals@. Yeah so enough place to continue before we get a new record :-) Best regards, Marcus
