[WG: Sakai QA] [samigo-team] [Important] SAM-973 for CLE 2.9.2 ?

[Neal Caidin]

The CLE team did not identify this as one of the issues to get resolved for RC02 (to be honest, I didn't bring it up based on this thread :-p ).

But we still have the original quesiton open about whether this should get merged into 2.9.x (after 2.9.2) and a new ticket opened with Fill in the Blank grading?

Thanks!

Neal

Like Megan though I encourage everyone to consider carefully the cost/benefit to the community of delaying a release in order to pull in just one more non-blocking fix or a few more like it.

There are a few more like this, where a bug fix has been made and verified in trunk, and it seems like "low hanging fruit" to merge it in and make 2.9.2 even a little better as we head towards rc02. I think rc02 is almost an inevitable need, btw. I can understand if you are worried about scope creep.

We can always choose to push the issues to 2.9.3 and then we will have a jump start having answered some questions and move some progress on these tickets.
