Hi Yonik,
 
> Excuse me?  I assume that's aimed at me?

No, that was not aimed at you. It was a general comment. There are many 
examples of companies /users that fork trunk. Lucid Imagination was one of them 
(the product LucidWorks was initially based on trunk, as far as I remember). 
Also P.S. has a forked Solr distribution. And I think HelioSearch, too.

So it was not against you. It was just a comment, that those people should not 
fork trunk and release it, but instead fork branch_4x and do their releases 
from there. Trunk is playground.

The whole discussion with Java 8 was clearly about corporate interests, every 
reply had some wording around "company" in it. Trunk is playground and we are 
free to use Java 8 there, without taking care of users. Trunk is for 
developers, not the users. If we have a feature for release, we may backport to 
4.x (at the moment). Unfortunately we do the backport quite often too early, 
releasing unbaked APIs.

Sorry, wasn't my intention. I like you very much as a character, we met several 
times and had great discussions. I have no personal problem with you.
