I know (and I assume) I quickly released these plugins, but : - we had the minimum of votes - I published several SNAPSHOT to tests them ( http://cvs.apache.org/repository/maven/plugins/?C=M;O=D), warned some users (mailing list, irc, ..) and I didn't receive some blocking problems from them. Personaly I prefered to try to release often but it's not always easy. Running the show like this ("We decided to release. Poof. We > release.") might be ok for your very own project hosted at > sourceforge. Not for an Apache project. > > You might think about this for future releases.

Yes, it's right, maven is a community (like apache, jakarta) of users and committers which work together. But it's not always easy to satisfy everybody : - Those who need to have quickly a new release (you for example). - Those who prefer we follow a long procedure to be sure we didn't miss something before to do a release.
