[DISCUSS] Making a 4.0.5 release

[Benjamin Lerer]

Hi everybody,

We recently committed CASSANDRA-15511 which will significantly reduce
allocations and improve the write throughput.

The discussion to deliver that improvement as part of the 4.0 branches can
be found at:
https://lists.apache.org/thread/f3dl7rfc2kv9f5r9pxzyz6zojsss81b9

It seems to me that with that improvement it would be a good time to make a
4.0.5 release and would like to hear your opinion about it.

Yes, and I'll be happy to cut it (if no one else raises their hand). As was
mentioned in the thread, this addresses an important performance weakness
for a number of users! And the release announcement should make special
mention of it.

4.0.4 went out mid May, so +1 from me for cutting 4.0.5 soon/now.

Should we get into a habit of releasing patch releases on some schedule rather 
than waiting for someone to randomly ask for a release after committing 
something they feel is important?
