Appetite for a 4.1-alpha1 ?

2022-05-18 Thread Mick Semb Wever
Our release lifecycle docs¹ imply that we can release alphas despite flaky test failures, which means we can cut and vote on a 4.1-alpha1 release today. This is also on the presumption that point (2) on our Cassandra CI Process docs² does not apply to pre-beta releases. Is there an appetite for th

+1 to a release, but should we be explicit about alphas potentially having flaky test failures?
