GridGain community edition just takes the sprint branch of Ignite and can produce a release at any point, if there are important bug fixes there. Official ASF release, as we all know, can take up to 2 weeks for voting and, if there are any rejections, even longer. There are also many other factors that may delay the official Apache release. The only motivation for the community edition is to provide the Ignite user base with bug fixes much sooner than within 2 weeks. > If I were a downstream user, I'd interpret "can be released more often" > as either "bug fixes are not pushed upstream to Ignite" or "these > releases are less rigorously tested".
