RE: conditions for removing experimental feature marks

Dear Loic,

Thank you for your reply, and I mostly understand what you meant about commit policy.
By the way, may I ask a question about the hammer releases ?
Are these two releases,
1. "We are very close to the release" you commented in pull request #4083
and
2. "backported later to hammer for the next point release" you mentioned below,
different ?

Best regards,
Takeshi Miyamae

I'd be happy to help, do you have specific questions ?

I think we need to split this pull request in three pull requests: 

* the performance optimization can go to master (and backported later to hammer for the next point release)
* the bug fix should be against hammer and be backported later to hammer
* the coding style cleanup should be against master and preferably after any change that you'd like to backport to hammer because it makes it a little more difficult to backport code

You can adapt the instructions from http://dachary.org/?p=2204 to your local environment. All you need really is the ability to run two virtual machines.
