My bad for not reading your original mail. I was particularly
surprised, in particular because of MASSEMBLY-19. It was a one line
fix, that I reported as critical. Surprisingly it wasn't considered
for 2.0 and I didn't expect it to miss 2.0.1.

It's also confusing because I've had this issue fixed in my local
install under the 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT release name. So it became obvious
for me that the issue would be in 2.0.1.



I believe it's the reporter's job to make sure the developers are not
missing something important. Unfortunately, if the voting decision is
taken too quickly on the developer list, it's hard for a reporter to
stay up to date!


There are potentially 2 process issues:
1- the trunk was branched, but the pom version still indicated
2.0.1-SNAPSHOT. It should maybe have indicated 2.1-SNAPSHOT.
2- the reporters had little chance of raising their voices.


Regarding 2), what about using a 'future' release number in Jira to
make sure every issue is at least targeted to a particular release?
Before planning a release, the release manager must make sure each
reported issue has a target version. The reporter would receive a mail
and may react upon it.
