Thanks Ewen. This helps partly but not fully since the Kafka runtime
itself isn't published to Maven (unless I looked up at the wrong place)
and thus we cannot boot up Kafka as a process, without the binaries
available somewhere.

Just FYI, 0.8.2.2 is effectively released -- the jars are in Central and if
you modify the 0.8.2.1 download URLs for 0.8.2.2 they should be there. I
think the reason there hasn't been an official announcement is because the
website transition may be holding things up.

Apologies in advance for continuously pestering about the releases. I know
there was a mail sent out for voting the 0.8.2.2 release a couple of weeks
back, but from what I see, the release is still pending. Any idea if this
will be released the coming week?
Overall, I'm wondering whether a more quicker release cycle for Kafka
would be a good idea. I know this is a open source community driven project
and as such doesn't come with timeline guarantees. But since Kafka hasn't
yet reached 1.0.0 and from our experience so far, shows some instability
issues, would it perhaps be a good idea to release more often whenever good
amount of bugs have been fixed? It's already been 6 months since the last
release and I already have seen a lot of bugs that have been fixed during
that period, but there hasn't been an official release which we can use in
our development systems and give it a try. We really like to continue using
Kafka since it does add value to our system, but some of the issues we are
running into is making us focus more on Kafka and the infrastructure than
actually focus on the application integration of it. So having a release
more often, which we can use with the bugs fixed, is really going to help.
Thanks to the Kafka dev team for the work they put in. I don't intend to
sound critical about the project (we really like it). I'm just hoping that
the releases happen more often.
