+/-0 While I think the goals are good (i.e. mainly correct semantic versionning), I think the additional amount of work for JIRA (tracking each bundle individually with each version) and for the Release Manager (which has a lot to decide and verify) is worrying. I hope I'll be proven wrong and that next releases will go smoothly. Thx Zoe for leading the discusion.
