Not uneasiness, simply not allowed by Apache release policy. Here's that conversation: http://www.nabble.com/new-release-policy-requires-changes-on-Derby-site-tf2647304.html#a7387765 Here are some earlier mail threads about the use of the Affects and Fix versions: http://www.nabble.com/Clarification-needed-bout-filing-JIRA-issues---Fix-vs-Affects-Versions-tf2541072.html#a7128032 http://www.nabble.com/Not-tracking-snapshots-in-JIRA-past-a-release-%28was-Re%3A-could-someone-add-10.2.1.7-to-jira-%29-tf2398131.html#a6687541 I know there are others, since this but I was having trouble finding them in the haystack, since every JIRA mail that gets sent includes the affects and fix versions. andrew
