[sakai2-tcc] Status of 2.8 additions, deprecations, and other changes

[csev]

I would like a bit of clarification - are we talking about a whole new webapp?  Are parts of it in trunk already and has incoming changes or is this a big code drop?

For me if this is changes to stuff that is already there that is off by default, I would support relaxing things.

If this is a whole new code drop that we have not yet seen, I would think that maybe the rush and bending the rules is less worth it because it is likely under rapid development still and will need to be re-released as it evolves.

So for me a little more detail would be helpful.

If he can't make the freeze deadline, I recommend strongly that we do not exclude his work from the release but schedule it's inclusion for the alpha2 tag.
