Hi guys,

I really have to agree with Unico here. We should not make API changes
in the stable "branch". These changes create (a lot of) unexpected
work for everybody depending on Jackrabbit with their own projects. If
we do need API changes we have to branch off 2.10 first in a stable
maintenance branch. We can set the trunk to 2.11 with the odd/even
scheme, so we still can create tags as we need them while indicating
that these tags are not considered stable and indeed the API might
still change.

So my proposal is to:
- revert the API breaking changes
- create the 2.10 branch
- set the version in trunk to 2.11
- create a new 2.10.3 tag of the branch in which we can fix the tag
naming as well
- re-apply the reverted changes to trunk
- create a 2.11.0 tag if needed

Of course Unico and I can help with doing this.

Wdyt?

Regards,
Bart
