If you're certain that issues on the custom/extended components have no chance of holding up a release (other than taking resources away from fixing issue in the api/impl), then you're right, there isn't a need. However, I think that without a clear plan the issue is confused.
I think we can use the 'road map' feature of JIRA to pick issues for each upcoming minor release. I'll volunteer to take a stab at creating a 'road map' for 1.1.2, (if someone can give me any access required). > -----Original Message----- > From: Manfred Geiler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 1:05 AM > To: MyFaces Development > Subject: Re: Plan for 1.1.2? > > Well, there is nothing to argue against quicker release cycles.
