Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4150:
-------------------------------------

Everyone has the right to his own opinion: but for these alpha/betas to me they 
are snapshots with additional guarantees: and its better to get them out sooner 
than later so we can iteratively
incorporate feedback.

If some people want these to be "typical" lucene solr releases each that take 
months to finish, good for them, but I strongly disagree (and will not be 
convinced otherwise!).

Fortunately its ok for us to disagree here, I only need to convince 2 other PMC 
members for us to get these things out there: its been way too long for this 
release.

My advice: if you want these alpha/beta releases to be more solid, get your 
changes in now because next week I will spin RCs every 72 hours until we get 
something out. 

I imagine with enough hassling/bribing it won't be long until 2 other people 
decide its good to just get the alpha release out there and get people testing 
it instead of dragging things out.
