Subject: Higher bar for accepting issues for OData v4.0

At the Zurich OData F2F meeting, we broadly classified the issues (on OData Work Products) under four categories:

Class A: Purely editorial corrections
Class B: Something is broken: Major/minor technical flaws or interoperability problems
Class C: Nothing is broken but need this for a “real good” reason: Major/minor technical changes
Class D: Nothing is broken but nice to have: Major/minor technical improvements

The TC agreed that for OData v4.0 core Work Products, we will raise the bar for accepting issues; specifically, we agreed that, starting Feb 7^th, 2013, for issues on core Work Products, the TC will only accept class A, class B, and class C issues for processing during OData v4.0. Class D issues will be deferred to a future revision (such as or v4.1 or v5.0).

Reminder – if you have class D issues that you like to see addressed in OData v4.0 core Work Products, please file them *before* Feb 7^th, 2013, so we can review and accept them during the TC meeting on Feb 7^th. Also, before or during the Feb 7^th TC meeting, please indicate which of the class D issues on core Work Products you like to see accepted for processing during OData v4.0. Any class D issues on the OData core Work Products that arrive later than or not accepted for processing during the TC meeting on Feb 7^th will be deferred to a future revision (such as or v4.1 or v5.0).
