Do we have the bandwidth to do one stable distribution and another unstable distribution, like Debian?
We could be a bit aggressive with those terms, just given the nature of the software here. For example: Stable - Hadoop 2.0.x, HBase 0.94, ZooKeeper 3.4.x, etc. Unstable - Hadoop 2.1.x, HBase 0.96, ZooKeeper 3.5 (if they release...). We would have two bleeding edges. One might sting a bit, but generally addresses Cos' concerns (I think - Cos?). One might amputate a limb, but would provide the whole ecosystem a peek at the post-singularity world. There's already BIGTOP-1029.
