hi, state my point of view , my last email just go to Chris Murphy
thing is, we introduce one ö (my keyboard don't have it) is like what I
have to leave with my é of Sérgio and one apostrophe , so cases complete
different. I bet ö will give much more problems .
I'm not saying to forget the bug, I'm saying: hey, this introduce a
bug , so first, we roll-back, second we fix the bug and third when bug
or bugs are fixed , we put release name with "what ever we want"


Cheers,
