What you are describing is a alpha/beta/pre-release/.... something
not-finished. Concrete version numbers without that statement would be
widely considered "finished" and usable.

It is Apache Flex that risks the bad PR if 4.7 is released too early.

David, I think there is a misunderstanding here.
As it has been discussed previously, the goal of the first release
(4.7 or 4.8 or 4.2012 or ... ) would be like a practice release for
the project, not a "look world, here is the first Apache Flex release"
So the PR of this release would be minimal, and would mainly consist
of "don't use this release for production work but only if you want to
help the Apache Flex project to test what is already broke from the
transfert to Apache".
I agree that it's the downside of a 4.7/4.8 release name: the version
increment can cause some confusion about expectations of
features/bugfixes.
But in a way, it will be our job not to promote this first release, to
avoid confusing users, and to explain what is its point to those who
will need clarification.
