I am volunteering to manage a 10.9.1 feature release. Please let me
know if you are comfortable with the plan posted here:

for a first release candidate on May 21 and GA on June 20.
Since the number of upgrade/downgrade trajectories and mixed client
server versions increases dramatically with each new version, along with
more builds and tests with multiple jdk versions and platforms to
track. I would think maybe a bug fix drive followed by a 10.8.3 release
and then a 10.9 late in the year with more than the short list of
features we have on the 10.9 list would be good.
Are there pressing needs that necessitate a 10.9 vs a 10.8.3 right
away? I believe release early, release often is good, but because of
the explosive nature of maintenance with each new major release, I think
it might be good to do one more 10.8 release before 10.9.
Just my opinion.
