I don't know if we need a vote or not about skipping 2.6.

I should have at least included my reasons for wanting to skip releasing a 2.6. 
I know I was the one originally encouraging us to keep a 2.6 release in the 
plan, but since then:

- I don't think it is worth the effort of resolving the issue of unbundling 
UMLS from cTAKES in 2.6 since 2.6 would be a one-off and it will be done 
differently in 3.0.

- Given the amount of time it is taking to get a release out, I'd rather see 
all energy focused on 3.0 at this point.
