Regarding the maturity model. This is NOT official policy. It was developed by the community development project and there was significant push back in the incubator about it being any kind of policy. There were in excess of 100 emails about it. Use of it here is a completely separate topic which should not have been mixed with official release policy discussions.
One of the core values of the Apache Way is to have the minimum number of policies. Regards, Dave Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 7, 2015, at 2:28 PM, Dennis E.
