[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: PDT and Galileo

[Ed Merks <Ed.Merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

In https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=238960#c10, being on 
the train is characterized as "mission impossible" with the large number 
of dependencies to track as the reason given.  I don't get the sense 
though that PDT has significantly more dependencies to track compared to 
other Eclipse projects.  The whole point of the release train is to 
solve this very problem.  Having one of Eclipse's most important 
community members opt out of this group effort is a bit depressing, 
especially given the benefits PDT has from being downstream from the 
train.  Imagine if none of the projects ever produced a coordinated set 
of results...
