[wtp-releng] WTP 2.0 M6 Build and Shutdown update

[John Lanuti <jlanuti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just kicked off a 2.0 M6 S build
which should be ready around 6 pm EST.  This build contains fixes
for both the JSF and web services tests failures.

We need to really start getting in the
shutting down mindset.  Tommorrow evening, we will produce our M6
candidate, do a sanity smoke test pass on Thursday, and then M6 will be
done.  Please start asessing your bug lists to see which blocker/critical/majors
need to be resolved tommorrow for M6, which need to be resolved in 2.0,
and which can be deferred all together.  Ideally, I would not like
to see a massive re-shift of all bugs to 2.0 RC0.  Something more
like a massive re-shift to 2.0, and then a triage of all 2.0 bugs to see
if they should be targetted for RC0 or deferred to 3.0 or reset to untargetted.
 That way, we and our adopters have a much better idea of what RC0
and 2.0 will look like.

Stay tuned, for what hopefully will
be our first completely clean 2.0 build in weeks!!  (Yikes.)  :-)
