Just a reminder [1]:

  All of the ASF including the board, the other officers, the
  committers, and the members, are participating as individuals.
  That is one strength of the ASF, affiliations do not cloud
  the personal contributions.

  Unless they specifically state otherwise, whatever they post
  on any mailing list is done *as themselves*. It is the individual
  point-of-view, wearing their personal hat and not as a mouthpiece
  for whatever company happens to be signing their paychecks right
  now, and not even as a director of the ASF.


Remember, you are here as a person, as yourself, and not a representative of the organization voicing organization's concerns and desires. You are here to help grow and maintain community as a whole, and community currently needs more often releases much more than a stable cforms block (which is just a bit of software, at the end of the day).

That is absolutely true. I happen to think the community needs both. My opinion is that a community that releases software that it won't stand behind has a significant problem.
