I would rather market this as a 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 release. (I am afraid that RC release will not get more downloads than beta). We do not expect the release to be 100% perfect anyway. While any regressions compared to 1.5 are aggressively corrected, we know that there are still issues which are opened since 1.4 or 1.5 or earlier, such as the indexing of jars having several jars in the classpath entry of the manifest, ... >...this is a recurrent problem in OSS software: people steer clear of >code till the x.0 release ships, it 'releases', which means that the >bugs get found in the x.1 update. Maybe we should factor that in and go >straight to the 1.6.0 with a plan to 1.6.1 two months later. It is even possible to release a 1.6.1 just 2 weeks after 1.6.0 or 1 month after, depending on whether severe bugs are found, and whether they are fixed.
