This is why we should vote for a *release* preferrably already
deployed on the zone and not just for the current state of the
branch. Last-minute changes can have nasty side-effects.
It is very simple to remove
<map:generator name="jx" src="org.apache.cocoon.template.JXTemplateGenerator"/>
in src/blocks/ajax/samples/sitemap.xmap or to add a warning in
ajax.xsamples but it requires to make another release just for
that.
WDYT?

Yes, I think we did a poor release this time and I feel guilty of doing
the release without testing it like I did with the previous releases.
And I totally forgot to get feedback from the users about the current
release like we did in previous releases as well.
We should take care that we do not forget this with the next release.

Same here.

Hmm, yes, but it seems that the interest in a release has decreased for
this release and I fear no matter how long we delay and wait for
resources it would be very hard to get real feedback *and* work on the
feedback by fixing things. But we should try it anyway.

I see your point, but even without changing our current procedures,
proper testing of the release would have shown the bug.
I regret not voting -1 on the release last week instead of -0, as I
didn't have time to test it and IIRC we had no precise testing
reports, just some folks saying "seems to work for me".
We should have the courage to delay a release if our resources don't
allow us to test it properly, and maybe work with temporary branches
for releases, to avoid a too long code freeze.
If there is a Summer of Code this year, I think we should have a
project to complete our automated tests - in this case, just testing
that the Ajax sample page comes up correctly at the HTML level would
have shown the problem.
Hmm..maybe two projects actually: one for plain HTML tests and one
for automated tests of Ajax stuff.
