Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Who's +3 again?

[Harm Sluiman <sluiman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with your banding calculation.

When we agreed to put TPTP in the +2
 last year it was because of integration and testing dependancies
on WTP,  BIRT, EMF and platform that put us there. In theory TPTP
is a candidate for +3 but we have just managed the risk as a +2 and it
has worked so far although last minute crisis have happened.

Thanks for your time.

So when we were mangling the schedule timings to compress
the +  
differentials,
we brought in +3 to happen 2 days after +2 - I was looking for a  
short grace
period in which we could ensure that SOA Tools was 100% after all our +2
dependencies had hit their date. IFIRC, UML2 Tools had the same issue.

for "5+

I don't think that the +differentials correlate with the number of
dependencies. It's a banding exercise, and right now there are
+0, +1, +2, +3 and EPP final bands.

I've always held the thought that you should compute the band using

  (my band) = (my dependency with highest band number) + 1
