This seems to me like we're endorsing the release of these versions by downstream maintainers? Even if we decide to modify this proposal and say "no, we don't endorse that," how do we prevent it? What's the benefit of this approach over using snapshot tags, if the goal is just making downstream maintainer's lives easier wrt merging a year's worth of work?

It's hard to row back from unwanted versions in the wild, and we may end up having to either support them or disappoint our users. This is not made explicit to users. Not through announcements or formal releases. This is strictly within dev. Any bugs reported back upstream to the community in the dev cycle will be fixed in trunk, that's the stated dev cycle and we don't deviate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@cassandra.apache.org
