There's no misunderstanding Chris - this release is to unblock downstream. As for your question: I don't have a crystal ball; I wish though. I think the answer depends on will be there more blocking bugs found in the later releases of Bigtop or other downstream components. This is bugfix release and, I guess, if there are more bugs found in the future - more releases would have to be cut. Isn't this is why the software is being released?
Now, the -1: I am not clear about the justification. What exactly we expect to "work out"?
