Probably best to say something if it wasn't clear :) Do you mind editing http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/MavenCvs to make it clearer? > You should not have destabalized what was in HEAD with your > changes until you were sure all was cool which means not > disabling the touchstone. I had to do something, because we were blocking any further development happening post-1.0 which is not good (Vincent's changes for the POM). The only alternative we had at the time was to do what I did, release with the leak as 1.0, or stop anyone else from doing core development. I think the right choice was made. I haven't destabilised HEAD, so the future there is still secure. What is on the branch is not experimental code. It has some bugs, but it can build itself (except for the simian and checkstyle plugins - but at the time it wasn't attempting this with the old bootstrap). Once the bugs are fixed, this is code that will be the release. > Please try to be more clear next > time, maybe others weren't confused but I certainly am.
