I would like to revisit a bit about the release topic to shed light about the release process. The TVM PPMC has always been focusing on producing high quality releases.
- The project has produced five major (non-apache) releases prior joining Apache - While most incubator projects start with a DISCLAIMER-WIP, the TVM community strives to keep the release quality high and uses the DISCLAIMER in the beginning of the first release[1]. The first release contains a few rough edges and gets resolved very quickly thanks to the feedback from Justin and other IPMC members. The second release is super smooth. - Multiple PMC members work together to generate these releases.
