Thanks Jonathan for opening the discussion.

I am not in favor of this proposal. 2.10 was very recently released, and moving 
to 2.10 will take some time for the community. It seems premature to make a 
decision at this point that there will never be a need for a 2.11 release.

Hi folks,

Given the release of 2.10.0, and the fact that it's intended to be a bridge
release to Hadoop 3.x [1], I'm proposing we make 2.10.x the last minor
release line in branch-2. Currently, the main issue is that there's many
fixes going into branch-2 (the theoretical 2.11.0) that's not going into
branch-2.10 (which will become 2.10.1), so the fixes in branch-2 will
likely never see the light of day unless they are backported to branch-2.10.

To do this, I propose we:

  - Delete branch-2.10
  - Rename branch-2 to branch-2.10
  - Set version in the new branch-2.10 to 2.10.1-SNAPSHOT

This way we get all the current branch-2 fixes into the 2.10.x release
line. Then the commit chain will look like: trunk -> branch-3.2 ->
branch-3.1 -> branch-2.10 -> branch-2.9 -> branch-2.8

Thoughts?
