Hi Petr,
Let me try to instill a bit more appreciation to a release schedule here.
We recieve a huge number of patches in any given moment. For a release we
have to decide which ones go in and which will not even when some patches
claim they fix huge problems. We need to verify the claim before they
can go in. Given that releases cannot be "just in time" given the
verification requirements we need to close off new patches once the
process starts. Patches submitted after we start a release cycle
verification are not eligible. Developers are well aware of this
and are not suprised when we don't include a patch in a particular
release.
From an external observer's viewpoint it's audacious that we didn't
include a particular patch. But, frankly, if we tried to include every
patch submitted "just in time" we would not be able to release anything.
I hope you appreciate the competing factors here.
All this means is that the patches you are looking for will be included in
5.1.1 which usually lags about 1-2 weeks. Of course, that also means we
have to verify that those patches are relevant. So, it may take longer if
we find problems with them. That should provide comfort as we are trying
to fix real problems and exclude problematic solutions. In the case at
hand, the solution was real but it arrived just too late.
