8.2.0 Release Criteria & ECO Documentation (Michael Stone)

[Greg Smith]

Hi Christoph,

Not sure if the licensing thing will be a deal breaker for including 
activities in the manufactured image, but we should definitely get that 
right ASAP.

All I'm saying is that we need to decide which activities to include in 
the image before they start manufacturing them for sale.

I want to make sure that decision gets made early. We should also test 
those activities with an extra level of focus since we know they will 
get built in. Better to do that before the release is closed. That's why 
I think it merits a place on the ECO checklist.

Thanks,

Greg S
