I don't think a 4-CF release is going to help. It's just going to be
2 more months before everything else that has been done gets released.Call me a pessimist if you will, but zero times
anarbitrary number
of CommitFests is still zero.
The only solution here is to get more people working on these patches.I have volunteered to work on HS and would also
bewilling to work on
SR. Work can be reviewing or actual code. But I cannot work on a
patch I cannot see, and neither can anyone else.
