[Swift-devel] Re: plan for 0.5 release

[Michael Wilde]

Mihael, Ben,

How well do you understand the problem and whats your confidence in 
being able to reliably fix it?

It seems best to disable it (or adjust things) to get more reliable 
operation across all or more sites, at the expense of performance on 
some sites, while its being fixed.

Mihael, is this bug on your plate? Whats your estimate of effort involved?

- Mike
