Martin, with all due respect, your focus in releasing 2.8 ASAP should be on integrating fixes that are completed, not battling to bring in new functionality such as layer groups. What's the point of layer groups if the layer transfer modes don't work correctly? More important than that is that a promise is being broken - a promise made to an excellent new talent who came out of nowhere and worked and behaved to the highest standard. The least you could do to encourage his further participation is to fulfill your part of the bargain and let his work see the light of day in the 2.8 release. In preference to layer groups, which could wait till 2.10. My criticism is for the whole team involved in these decisions, I don't wish to single out Martin or ask anyone to quit.
