Thank you for these details.
This and all the other items related to OO show that this large
application is not a good example.
Due to its size, the different kinds of components and the large
requirements OO makes to libraries, compiler, interpreters (java), ...
makes OO to an extra ordinary package.

Maybe one can define exceptions for these kinds of large packages?

So, making an exception and kick 2.0.2-3 into testing would be a natural
choice from my point of view.

Kind Regards,
Thomas
