Hi Guys, The process should be as formal as the community dictates, but I can't help but make the observation that increments in version numbers that are strange to those with some knowledge of artifact versioning will only be stranger to those without (i.e., adopters/users of SOLR). To me,

Just to toss in my two cents... I'd have to agree with Hoss here. In terms of versioning, I see no reason that a major version bump in a dependency should cause a major version bump in Solr - unless said bump causes major changes. I haven't really looked at what's planned for Lucene 3.x

Hey Yonik, My personal experience with this is if you jump directly to 2.0, you'll have people wondering where 1.5, 1.6--1.9 is in the CM system, and this would create some confusion unless it is documented well. This may warrant rethinking the tag structure a bit in SVN, or perhaps even the
