+1 Why don’t we make a Roadmap wiki page as Cassandra suggests, and indicate what major things needs to happen when. Perhaps if we can get the Solr TLP and git-split ball rolling as a pre-9.0 task, then perhaps 8.8 could be the last joint release (6.6, 7.7, 8.8 hehe)? That would enable Lucene to ship 9.0 without waiting for a ton of alpha-quality Solr features, and Solr could have its own Roadmap wiki.
