Re: [modeling-pmc] Transition Plan for MDT OCL andEMF"QTV" Components?

And in case Alex's email isn't reaching the PMC mailing list:

My contributions:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=242880
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=266320
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=198945
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217461

The first 2 bugs contain explicit patches from me, while the other two
contain instructions on how to fix these issues. All of these improvements
were approved by Christian and eventually committed.

- Alex.
