Greetings Planning Council.

The MPC project has uncovered a significant bug. There is discussion below and more in the cited bug.

The TL;DR is that we are hanging a lot of press and potential for good will on the ability to drag and drop features from web pages and the Eclipse Marketplace site, so this really need to work. Further, this feature is important to the Marketplace ecosystem and will have a significant impact on perception of overall usability of Eclipse.

I hereby a request a respin of the simultaneous release on behalf of the Technology PMC.

David,

We have found a critical bug in Marketplace Client (MPC) that breaks the 
drag and drop feature of MPC. Carsten has fixed the bug and a patch is 
available. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=470485

Unfortunately, the workarounds are not intuitive from a usability 
perspective and the drag and drop feature is important for MPC and the 
overall ecosystem. For instance, we plan to promote the 'early access' 
Java 9 support through a drag and drop feature.

For these reasons, I'd like to request a re-spin of Mars. Is this 
something I should post on cross-projects or is there another process I 
should use.

Thanks
Ian
