Hmmm.... preparing a new release will be faster ;-) Yup, especially since you will find me *extremely* hard to convince. :-) > Besides it's more about promoting a release.

Every release must be voted on by the PMC, no exceptions. It doesn't matter how it's labeled. Just to be clear, we start by building what we call a Test Build, with the latest 3-part number. That Test Build is made available to developers (i.e. dev@ only). After it's been available for long enough that people have had a chance to determine how stable it is, we vote on whether it should become a Beta release, a GA release, or not a release at all. As Wendy has implied, we vote on actual bits. That means that if we had created a build as an RC, we would need to vote on it to release the RC, and if everyone thought it was good enough to be GA, we would need to re-roll the release with the new name (i.e. not RC now), and vote on it *again*, because the bits are different. I don't think that's what you want. Having been Release Manager for about a dozen releases of Struts over the years (not counting test builds that didn't make releases), including through the transition from the old scheme to the new one, I can tell you, you don't want to go back. -- Martin Cooper > I was looking for that discussion about labeling but didn't find, > could you help and point to the right direction ?
