To elaborate further, under the current consensus there would be no 3.12 release.
Meaning that there are a few features that already made it to 3.X (3.12) that would either: a) have to be reverted b) have to be discarded together with the remained of the 3.X branch If the vote goes through, I suggest we kill off the 3.X branch, and cherry-pick the bug fixes that made it to 3.X back to the 3.11 branch. 3.11 branch will be the only one remaining. https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-3.X/CHANGES.txt -- AY On 13 January 2017 at 17:21:22, Aleksey Yeschenko (alek...@apache.org) wrote: Hi all! It seems like we have a general consensus on ending tick-tock at 3.11, and moving on to stabilisation-only for 3.11.x series. In light of this, I suggest immediate feature freeze in the 3.X branch. Meaning that only bug fixes go to the 3.11/3.X branch from now on. All new features that haven’t be committed yet should go to trunk only (4.0), if the vote passes. What do you think? Thanks. -- AY
