Correct. Nothing to do about the technical quality, but that the ASF is stating "We (ASF) have vetted this codebase to the best of our abillities, and it should now be unencumbered of copyrights and licensing terms, and we have an active community around the codebase that will ensure the long-term viability of this project." So when Leo say "at your own risk", it is in the context of "our vetting and community building process is not yet complete, and this *may* never become an endorsed ASF project". > Doing only milestones may be good for new projects, but for > projects that do have a huge user community, not being able to > do releases can be a problem > -- what about bugfix releases on previous versions ? > Such projects may be in need of "real" releases, even if > incubating (and thus, non endorsed by the ASF). Such projects are encouraged to do these releases at their "current" home. Nothing stops ActiveMQ to make a release out of the CodeHaus location, although it is in ASF incubation.
