[general] M8
There are a number of known test failures that we have allowed to remain
unfixed for several releases now. I think we should create a JIRA
for M8 and add some (all?) of these issues as blockers[0] as soon as M7 is
released in order to focus some attention on these issues.
What do others think?
-Mark.
[0] Blockers in JIRA terminology but I really mean "would-like-to-fix"
since it is almost certainly unrealistic to expect all of them to be
fixed and some may slip to M9 or beyond.

Hello,
I support the idea. BTW, could anyone point to one of the easiest
blocker issues so I could attract my summer school student's attention
to it?
Thanks!

Good idea and I would get involved to fix those bugs which would become
blockers for M8.

I think a 3+ week code freeze like we've had for M7 is really bad for
the project, and has partly come about because we didn't focus on bugs
enough between M6 and the M7 code freeze date. It would be good to
prioritise some bugs now for M8 so that we don't have this situation
next time round. I'm happy to get involved.

Good idea. Probably we can just mark those individual JIRA issues as
blocker? So that can achieve the same effect while keeping more open?
Thanks,

Exactly. And we should assign it a date to indicate roughly when we
would expect to begin the initial bug-fix-only freeze.

Agreed
Can we create a task issue that is the release for M8?

We should have a green status for our unit tests always.
I've found same problems in Java 6 branch.
