Re: [tycho-dev] Release for 2020-12 release?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Only https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho/+/174221 is left from Christoph's list. I don't think it's a blocker and have asked on the review whether we should wait for the final fix if it can happen soon; or if it's OK to delay.

There is also https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=570189 which popped up. It's not a blocker per se and issue has been existing for a looong time; but it has revealed as consuming a lot of energy lately. As much as I'd like to get it fixed in next release, I think it's also too intrustive, difficult and risky task to guarantee a good fix in a short time frame; and we'd lack time to properly test it before release. So I suggest we just skip it for 2.2 and make it a higher-priority item for 2.3 (hopefully fixing it early so we get plenty time to use the snapshots). Thoughts?
