Please stop that. We focus on getting 4.7 out of the door.
sorry, i'm done. this is the first release cycle i've been a drupal community member for, so i'm learning as it unfolds. apologies to everyone for that...
Which is of no concern to core.
my confusion stemed from the fact that there seem to be 3 kinds of drupal modules: 1) things actually in core 2) modules that are nearly as important as core (for example, project.module -- there were numerous emails on this list about critical bugs in project holding up the 4.7 release, etc) 3) everything else i was under the mistaken impression that CCK was supposed to be a major part of the new 4.7 functionality, and therefore, that it belonged in group #2 -- that it was "of concern to core". i didn't ask about this feature to be a pain in anyone's ass, but because i thought that if this list was going to hunker down and throw itself at project.module's issue queue, CCK was a similarly important module, and that a small, last-minute feature could be added to ease CCK's 4.7 lifespan. a few developers that seem to be well-respected around here were working on the patch (which would have benefitted some other modules, too), so i thought i was being helpful by drawing attention to the issue. the obvious flaw in my logic is that CCK is not considered that important. now i know. ;) i didn't mean any harm, and i'm sorry i generated any heat over this. is project.module just a special case because it's in use on drupal.org? are there any other modules that belong in the nearly-as-important-as-core category? that info would help me (and probably others on this list) know where to focus energy for the rest of the time until 4.7.0 RC is out. thanks, -derek
