It doesn't work like that. Committers are not bound by general statements and rules like this. The reason I like the Apache rules. We have consensus per issue, we have votes when we can't find consensus or to add new committers, we have votes to release. We don't have blanket rules that must be obeyed. Issues will come up as they always have, in either case, and releases will fix them. Whether an experimental or non critical thing goes in last minute is not for one person to decree. And random releases *create* last minute features when a dev did not intend it - you can't figure out when a release will pop you don't know what last minute it is. The whole idea is a joke. The "release right now" idea is very rude and anti community. - Mark
