Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] 2018-12 Respin?

Fred,

My sense is that while this is a super annoying problem, we should not 
assume that everyone necessary is available last minute right before the 
holiday season to deal with respinning and retesting along with a 
delayed release.   It's extremely bad timing for this time of the year.

This post on the forum suggests the problem is more wide spread than has 
currently been identified:

As such, I'm doubtful a respin will catch all the problems, and I'd be 
concerned that we replace this problem with a different set of problems.

Regards,
Ed
