-1 The branch changes enough things that it would be a collosal pain in the ass to migrate from whatever is on trunk to the code in branch. configuration format is changed, lucene index has changed, database has changed. each of which isn't even close to the structure that exists on trunk. please. be patient. we're aiming for a branch to trunk merge within 2 weeks. and a release shortly after that.
People are already using it. They will have to convert (or start over). The current situation is not fair to the users, and not fair to the developers who under ASF guildelines [1] should not be discussing unreleased software with non-developers. (By that logic we shouldn't even have a user list yet.) A 1.0-alpha-1 now doesn't have to be widely distributed and promoted. It will give us a comparison point for the new code, and something to document changes against. [1] http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what -- Wendy
