Tommaso Teofili commented on LUCENE-5944:
-----------------------------------------
bq. I opened this issue 6 days ago and nobody objected. we can't support any
more 4.x releases in lucene anymore. Each release is plagued by corruptions in
the back compat support. Its just not sustainable.
while I agree with the backcompat trouble it's still not acceptable to just
move forward without a vote IMHO, even if the issue has been open for 6 days,
there must be explicit consensus on things like moving to major releases. It's
like saying that since java 7 will go EOL shortly we just move to java 8
without voting.
To make it clear I would've voted +1 for the move, just I don't like the way
it's been done.
> move trunk to 6.x, create branch_5x

>
> In order to actually add real features (as opposed to just spending 24/7
> fixing bugs and back compat), I need a trunk that doesn't have the back
> compat handcuffs.
> In the meantime, we should rename the current trunk (which is totally tied
> down in back compat already, without even a single release!) to branch_5x
> while you guys (i wont be doing any back compat anymore) figure out what you
> want to do with the back compat policly.
