Your right - it only takes 3 PMC members to get a no warning release out the door. However, fighting with the rules is fairly anti productive. Yes, a group could start doing random releases with no warning. Another group could start doing releases a week or two after those - taking their time to wrap some things up first. Another guy could say, I'm going to start doing a release the last day of every month, and then you will always be able to plan and we can work together. Yes, if we can't get consensus, we can fall back to nuclear rule fallout. It seems more productive to simply give a weeks notice. If you are frustrated that a release has taken a long time and you want to put up an RC? More power to you. That's not a random, no warning release. I'd just as likely vote for it. - Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
