What happened to the proposal to vote and approve a GA-enabled
release, but not make it actually available until Java SE 6 goes GA?
Did we decide this was not feasible? I may have missed it, but I
don't think I saw that discussion anywhere.
This was my comment regarding my concerns about this dependency.

I think from a community perspective we would like other new projects to
look at us as a good example. Will they say Yes! Let's do it just like
Derby:
- Wait more than a year for our first feature release,
- Make pseudo GA release and ask our Release Manager to hold onto it
until the company he works for releases their comercial product that
uses it.
- Set a precedent for external comercial dependencies on our release
criteria.
I think/hope they won't.
