> Because they were/are direct-to-release branches. trunk is not. I repeat, 2.1.x which became 2.2.0 were released from trunk; once it reached beta it was branched to 2.2.x, trunk became 2.3.x. 2.3.x which became 2.4.0 were released from trunk, until it reached beta and was branched to 2.4.x, and trunk became 2.5.x. Neither of the two release cycles below experienced anything like a complete feature scope or audit of 2.1.1-alpha vs 2.0.current or 2.3.0-alpha vs 2.2.current as now proposed. 2.2.0 and 2.4.1 were released as GA in spite of this "oversight." Any claims that httpd trunk 2.5.x cannot be tagged as 2.5.0 for consideration as an alpha or beta candidate by a majority vote of the PMC must be based on a veto of specific code. That code has lived on trunk, just as 2.1.1-alpha and 2.3.0-alpha had lived on trunk for a very, very long time, plenty of time to raise veto objections to the code. Any committer (certainly any PMC member) can proceed without unanimous consent, the project's charter and the character of the entire foundation is that no one individual can block a release of the next version of the software, individuals can block major changes to the software in a veto which they justify (and we hope they offer an agreeable compromise path to resolving the veto.). As you are a participant in this process as demonstrated below, it's a little hard for me to believe you aren't fully aware of the process. Your participation in this project since it's inception suggests you contributed to setting forth these very principals. Why you've chosen to invent an entire set of hurdles that don't exist yet is beyond me, without framing this as a policy change, and I'm sorry for whatever antagonism it is costing to repeatedly explain these documented principals to everyone, old hands and newcomers alike. I'd much rather debate merits of newly proposed policy on the merits of the proposed changes, rather than respond to untruths.
