Let's not beat the dead horse. No one cares. There's not good reason
for not releasing something immediately if there are fixes available.
That's just not the way it works here, that's fine and not a big deal.

I don't understand what the issue is with the current process.
Benjamin is already getting them out faster than the majority of
people will be able to test and review them. Any faster and you
might as well just be using the CI builds for whatever purpose you
have in mind. You're not going to be able to push out anything from
Sonatype that's any more official than those, so what benefit does
anyone get from a build that loses the frequency of CI builds and
loses the benefit of being reviewed before publishing?
The rules about not promoting snapshots to users are there for good
reasons - to make sure the PMC does actually authorize releases and
the users know what they are getting, and to encourage actually
doing releases (instead of everyone running their own version of
trunk). I don't see any upside to a change that loses those. There's
no problem pointing individuals to the grid for *testing* purposes
as far as I know, as long as they know what they are getting is not
a release and may not work at all.
Thanks,
Brett
