I think the probelm is that there is a rule that says that disputed code should be backed out but ther eis no rule that gives an avenue of appeal whjen one committer is acting as a 'dog in teh manger' and just blocking everything, and requiring it to be held or reverted. JHB has had a 8 months to check in his stuff (hey the preemtion stuff was done in June) and since then it's only effect on the project has been to stiffle and stop all other development in the area. I blame P4 for this in part. HE thinks he is being transparent to the rest of the community whereas he has a total viewing public of about 4. Consider this a test case. Core is appealled to. The blocking action of JHB's (good) work is doing more damage to the project than good. We need to be able to proceed without waiting for him...
