We had not talked about it, but knowing of everyone's ambition to integrate as much as reasonably possible with the Open Source world, I do not see why to object about it - but there is no autoroute to a freeze exception.

It would be nice for you to test that indeed there is no disturbance of any reverse dependencies by your changes. Pleae be aware, the update of hibernate by pkg-java has killed the upload of Eucalyptus 1.6 to Squeeze before by a situation just like this "should be compatible". It was not. I would hence object any freeze exception unless Brian confirms also the runtime compatibility. Talk to Brian directly about everything, please.
 
> Thomas, thank you very much for your patience.
Yip! Needs more of it, though.
