-1 on cutting a beta1 in this state. An alpha2 would be acceptable now, but I’m not sure there is significant value to be had from it. Merge the fixes for outstanding issues listed above, then cut beta1.
With TCM and Accord pushed into 5.1, SAI is the headliner user-visible feature. It is what we want users to test. If we are to drive more people to test SAI, we should resolve the issues that we ourselves know of first. Respect our users’ time and effort - don’t make them bump into known bugs. P.S. I don’t believe that ‘alpha' vs. ‘beta' really makes a significant difference to people’s willingness to try out the build. For most folks both feel too raw to play with, and most of the rest would be equally adventurous enough for an alpha *or* a beta. This is just my gut feeling vs. your gut feeling, in absence of hard data. > On 28 Nov 2023, at 21:17, Mick Semb Wever <m...@apache.org> wrote: > > > >> So then cutting an alpha2 is possible. > > > Possible, but still leaves alpha1 as our mitigation plan and alpha2 as our > best plan. Doesn't seem worth it IMHO.
