FWIW I don't have access to what's being raised with the board so effectively can't participate in this discussion beyond +1'ing Jirsa:

We SHOULD look at what's required to rebuild PAST releases. We should keep in mind what's best for our users. While avoiding including compiled binaries that can't be verified as open source makes complete sense from a "maximize safety to our users" perspective and can be done on forward-going releases with minimal lift, we also have to consider how we get There from Here on past releases. Pulling the rug out from our entire user-base and releases after over a decade based on a conversation that happened off-list (i.e. not on the C* dev list) 9 years ago is, hopefully we can agree, not in our users' best interests nor the best interests of this project's longevity. ~Josh On Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 9:38 AM Mick Semb Wever <m...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > It good to see you are taking action, but I think the situation is a > > little more seriously that you may realise, I suggest you look at what > > actions the board has taken in similar situations in the past.
