Anshum Gupta commented on LUCENE-5944:
--------------------------------------
I understand the back-compat issue but honestly, people working on Solr side of
things have stuff in trunk that they wanted to release as part of the next
non-backcompat release (major release). I, and I'll assume others too, had more
things planned for the 5.0 release.
With none of that happening with 5.0 and users getting a back-compat breaking
release there, it'd be bad for the users to receive another release that's
reasonably different, and breaks API's just a few months after 5.0 goes out.
I'm proposing that we work together to have releases (and release numbers) that
sound reasonable to the users (and developers).
> move trunk to 6.x, create branch_5x

> Fix For: 5.0

>
> 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.
