BTW, to this point -- some of the private forks of HDFS and HBase are due to the opposite problem. For example, FB branched off at 0.89 and still uses that branch in production because they've seen the trunk moving too *fast* and accepting too much new stuff. (at least according to emails a couple months ago - apologies if I misunderstood that and putting words in people's mouths) So in summary I think we have to find the balance. IMO our balance has been too far towards moving fast and not towards stability in the last year. As we grow up we need to shift back towards stability of the core. -Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
