Fair enough. IMO you've done quite a lot of communication on the matter
(at least to us developers) and I've personally been testing
CONCURRENCY=makefile in response to your repeated call for testers. At
this point, I doubt you can get significantly more testers without
changing the default concurrency level. All in all, it seems to be just
a matter of *when* doing that change to gather more feedback.
I understand that you've considered doing it now and that you've decided
not to (probably in accordance with the release team), which is fairly
understandable. It is just a pity to give up the chance to actually
understand how far are we from correct and complete dependency
declarations. Oh well, I guess it's just life.
Cheers.
