Yes, I agree with that. In the example I used, things like master poms which are infrastructure, or a minor site updates, or fixing 'moved' repositories which wouldn't let things build. Those were our only real exceptions. Most changes we give the 72 hours for because if it's deserving of a rel

Bertrand, I agree. The good thing about a vibrant community is that they generally enforce this. All I'm saying is this shouldn't be a "must" requirement, rather it should be a shall and we can let the individual communities work out what exceptions they allow. On Feb 5, 2011, at 2:13 PM, Bertr

Yeah I agree with this. At MyFaces we typically way the 72 hours, but for security things or master pom updates which prevent a built, we often adopt "lazy consensus" type rule and fudge the timeframe with enough community votes. I think it's important to keep things flexible because, as much as
