There was lazy consensus on this thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread/mzj3dq8b7mzf60k6mkby88b9n9ywmsgw and also the announcement about the staged release was out for a longer period of time to raise objections.
Not that it's too late to object, just that it's been raised for attention twice now with no objections :-) For me, I'm keen to get it out simply because there's so many features coming in 5.0 it helps bring a bit more awareness to each. There's also a bit of a wait for TCM (from what I've heard off-thread) and we want all the testing we can get and it takes time to get people to come around to doing it.
