Thanks for bringing this topic for discussion Benjamin. > The cassandra-4.0 branch was created on the 1st of May last year. So it would make sense to do something similar this year. Does it sound reasonable?
+1 to having a predictable release date and May 1st sounds good to me. > Should we plan some soft freeze before that? Doesn't the freeze start when we cut the branch? I have some in progress work that I was hoping to wrap up by May 1st. > Do we want to start with an alpha or beta release? I don't see why not. Can we do that after the branch is cut on May 1st or were you thinking before that?
