[jboss-dev] AS5 Beta3 status

As a general comment, we got sidetracked last week by key people away in meetings (TBoD), and an imminent AS 4.2.2 release with last minutes updates/fixes and our EJB3/WS teams working on those. Beta3 is already delayed, so please let's focus to add the missing pieces and stabilize the testsuites/tck. There are so many things going on at the same time, so please refrain from unnecessary refactorings and new features at this point. We need to bring the open issues down to a small manageable set, otherwise we'll keep fighting against moving targets.
