[wildfly-dev] "It's The Final Countdown!"

[Jason Greene]

No this isn’t the Europe song (Sorry to disappoint!).

It is however the countdown to WildFly 8 Final release!

The key things that remain are:

1) Final Components - We need PRs upgrading to “Final” for all outstanding 
subcomponents[1]. If you own one of them, then please make this a high priority. 
The sooner the better.

2) Identify Blockers - We need to identify all remaining blockers that have been
reported against CR1. I’m hoping everyone can look through the forms for likely
blockers and convert them to JIRAs. As a reminder a blocker is anything that is 
mass user effecting and severe in nature. Examples include: hangs, crashes, 
memory leaks, vulnerabilities, and data corruption.

3) JASPIC Acceptance - A few of you on this list have noted issues. We need to 
ensure that the Final release has addressed the outstanding issues.

Thanks!
