Some major changes in engine, would like people to use the latest N-build to sniff test it before the integration build
Will p2 support installing old platform versions? How many versions back will we support? Should we have an N-2 policy like PDE?
Hard to say right now because there are on compatibility issues yet
Problem should be somewhat easier than PDE experience, since we now have metadata to describe the contents of the different configuration files in each version
PDE removing p2-specific feature and bundle, merging into main pde bundles
Need to review SDK features to ensure dependencies on p2 are non-optional where necessary
A reminder that next week is M3 week. Likely a warm-up build on the weekend prior
If all is going well next week, we'll plan to have a test day on Wednesday next week, devoted to writing new automated tests and increasing test coverage
