My concern is that the lack of proper C-g handling for such a long term may imply a problem in the fundamental design of the port. Of course, no one can be sure unless someone refutes it by actually implementing it. I think maintainers should set some time limit to wait such an implementation, and IMO the beginning of the pretest is the most appropriate timing. Even if "nontrivial changes" is not necessary as Adrian says, there should be enough time to test the new code before the release. YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp
