Yes, no stable release of Commons OGNL.

I won't be migrating them, I'll continue to support the 3.x line (and
4.x at some point) based on the Github version but under SML
organisation (it's a two clicks process).

When I opted to move OGNL under the ASF umbrella I thought it would be
easier to maintain the code and release it and in the beginning it
looked like this. Yet, after some time, the both versions of code
started to diverge and now it's almost impossible to merge the changes
back from 3.x into Commons-OGNL (it should be possible the other way
around). Also it's a way easier for me to release a new version based
on GH than to perform the same process at ASF.

As mentioned above, a faster release cycle (in most cases it depends
just on me, less bureaucracy), I'm able to release a new version and
test it in Struts the same day. Also there are other non-ASF projects
which depend on the 3.x and it's easier for them to discuss/fix
problems just using GH (my assumption) than create tickets in JIRA and
then PRs in GH.
