The above change, and the two preceding ones, did a great deal more than simply change the name to "TBD". As we saw at the f2f, the release message mechanism was actually much better defined than David has claimed. In particular, the sending of this message on remove() and various other descriptions of how this mechanism behaves have now been removed. So, I agree it is rather less well defined *now*, but it was not before. License renewal is also lacking quite a few details. Anyway, I have an action to elaborate on the details of the release message mechanism and I will provide those changes this week, also restoring the functionality that was just removed.
