What shall we do for NB 25 which is currently baking?

option 1:
   - drop NBI windows

   - keep all other installers for now
I've been thinking about this since yesterday, and for a variety of
reasons that I'm not going into all of right now, I'm taking option 1
as stated off the table.

Which leaves dropping Windows installers completely for NB 25, which I
don't think is desirable at all.

option 2:
   - release everything again for one more release
Personally I think at this late stage we should do option 2, with the
community installers remaining as the alternative option.

I am not going to block this but will refrain from any windows specific testing during vote etc. If the time of one more cycle helps to resolve the installer question - all good - better late than never :).

NBI is since https://lists.apache.org/thread/xh9r5kyt404qx0dtygnkytlrr7c9g0or on life support and no changes happened since #7542. I don't feel comfortable to release sw on that quality level -> so I will opt out from those parts.

best regards,

michael



option 3:
   - drop everything except the zip
I think that's a desirable and feasible aim for NB 26, assuming
progress on installer alternatives outside of ASF continues to be made
in time to replace them.

I think installers from somewhere are a must have!

Best wishes,

Neil
