I thought we were operating under the assumption that the next release
was going to go out the door with the incompatibilities listed on the
10.3 release page: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenThreeRelease.
Up until now this thread has focused on the release name, not altering
its contents. I thought that the developer community had reached
consensus that, in these cases, the extra security justifies the
incompatibilities.
Are you yourself not comfortable with that decision? Are you
recommending that we ask the user community whether they agree what has
been, up until now, the consensus on derby-dev?

I wanted the question to be more of the form "is compatibility between
minor releases more important to you than client/server
secure-by-default functionality?" -- with the suspicion that an
embedded user doesn't really care about client/server security and
thus would opt for compatibility. But even client/server users may
care more about compatibility than increased security. Just to help
us inform our decision here.
This is assuming, if I understand things right, that the
incompatibility arises because we're improving authentication between
the network client and the server, with this security enabled by default.

Nice one :)

I thought I saw a comment re asking the user list, but I can't
remember seeing one. Did I invent/miss something?

Hi Myrna,
David made that suggestion. Dan noted that our conventions don't give
the user list a decisive say here. I'm a little unclear about what
question to pose. Perhaps one of these:
1) Would calling this release 11.0 make it less likely that you would
be blindsided by these incomatibilities?
2) Would calling this release 11.0 make it less likely that you would
install this release?
Regards,
