<div dir="ltr">=) I have no illusions and don't stop a discussion on my account. I'm just saying I won't be part of it, and I'm guessing nor anyone else from OTP, until after 17.0. I'm just hoping someone is taking notes.</div>

</div></div>Sorry, Bjoern-Egil, and it's totally fine to postpone the discussion<br>
until after R17 is released. Let's just just pause and start a new<br>

BTW, your arguments for splitting up the repo sound reasonable.<br>
