Hi everybody, Given that the expected time for release 5.0.0 is approaching and there are 160+ Jira issues assigned to that release ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Arrow+5.0.0+Release ) I'd like to propose to do some cleanup of the TODO by bulk moving all 5.0.0 jira issues flagged as "Improvement" or "New Feature" to 6.0.0. That will reduce the scope of Jira issues for 5.0.0 to ~30 bugs which seems a more manageable goal.
If anyone has a new feature or improvement they are working on and want to include in 5.0.0, those ones will obviously still be able to go. What I'm proposing is just to move the issues by default and then in case anyone wants to keep some of them in 5.0.0 they can be moved back. In general if we move an issue you are involved on, you should receive a notification and should be able to move it back to 5.0.0 if you want to ship it in that release. I hope this helps getting a better understanding of what's going to go in 5.0.0 so that release announcements can be more easily prepared Any thoughts?
