I'm sure unit test failures cannot be fixed. It's relying on old buggy behaviors. Since I cannot fix users' unit tests, I fully agree to revert offending patches. In return, we'll have buggy behaviors, but it shouldn't be fatal because users have been living with them for a long time. Unlike other internal functions, session module functions expose many internal data and logic to user space. Even if changes should not affect normal operations, changes may break users' tests as they are testing abnormal cases usually. For this reason, I'll not commit changes to released versions from now on, if it changes exposed data/logic. e.g. Save handler execution order, session data manipulation logic. Please let me know if I should revert them. If it is not burden for you, please revert them by yourself. Thank you. -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
