I'd suggest a vote. This way we have documentation that a decision was made to move in this direction and we don't have to re-hash the discussion every time someone wants to do an alpha release or break BC between alpha releases. We should probably vote before establishing such "policy" changes. This doesn't mean components *have* to do alphas if they don't want, but we're merely establishing that it's an acceptable practice within Commons to do so and more importantly to establish the expectations when the situation arises. Hopefully once we get our release process streamlined we can do these releases much more frequently and get our cool code in our users' hands quickly! Great discussions, folks. I'm glad to see us thinking like this. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
