I'm disappointed about the style of release management. You do force work on
others on a very short notice. Given the vast diversity on configurations I'm
not sure how to do testing within this limited time. Unless the IcedTea project
is interested in more broad acceptance, maybe its time to rename it to RedTea.
I'm not happy about this style of development, and would like to discuss this at
DevJam.
