Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl / Tk 8.6.8 Release Candidates

Hi Don,

> Let me know of any reason you uncover why they should not be released.

1. Not about specially this release, but IMHO the BUG [578155d5a1] [3]
could be clarified before we release it. 

2. I've the almost ready solution for BUG [fec0c17d39] [4], thus I would
like to see it still in this release (I'm too busy at the moment, but if
I'll accomplish it, I'll push to fossil as soon as possible).

3. I would like to know when we can plan the "release" of my newest
clock-engine (interim available as tclclockmod-module on github).
I though, we wanted to merge it with next 8.6th release? Or I missed
some points there?
What I could do to push it further?
Flightaware use it already several time (as module).

@Flightaware, @Peter
 Could you share your experience about it, please? 
 Possibly it will help to release this clock-engine within tcl-core...

Regards,
Sergey.
