-1 The IPMC is currently discussing how to handle these situations.We have not come to an agreement yet and so this seems premature at best. Furthermore, there is currently no definition of "parking". I have no interest in voting on something that is not well defined.
Secondly, and more importantly I'd rather hear from the project community than a mentor who says (and I paraphrase) "as a mentor I think everything is OK but lets kill it anyway, I want to make a point to the IPMC". I appreciate my paraphrase my be doing a disservice to you Robert, but that is what it reads like to someone with only the information you provide here. I, as an IPMC member do not know what "this external problem stopped work" means. It has not, to my knowledge, been adequately covered in board reports and I see no clear expression of the problem here on the IPMC. Robert, I respect your recommendation as a mentor but if you want me, as an IPMC member, to back it then you need to provide enough information for me to make an informed decision OR you need the Kato community to indicate that this is their desire.
