[release 1.1.5 now instead]
1) Mitigates the need for a 1.1.4.1 branch.
Not really. In all likelihood, there are always going to be bugs in
the latest release since new features are constantly being worked on.
Users want to have access to a bug-fix release that does not add new
features.
Point taken.
2) No need to run the TCK prior to the release.
We have to run the TCK on all releases, whether 1.1.5 or 1.1.4.1.
I understand this for release we announce as stable, but can we cut a
release we believe will pass the TCK, and only announce it as stable
after it passes the TCK. Granted we may have gaps in the list of stable
version number, but this is what tomcat does today.
3) A release is a sign of progress to the community.
From the email I've received both on and off list, the community would
consider bug fix releases a more practical sign of progress.
Point taken.
4) Allows Maven based project currently using 1.1.5 functionality
a version of MyFaces they can use in a release. (I am in this
position)
Irrelevent. Having a bug fix release of 1.1.4.1 should not impact a
release of 1.1.5.
Point taken.
