Hi,
Raul had one more suggestion to add to that list: doing a 4.6.0 with Karaf 2.3.x and using Karaf 3.x for ServiceMix 5. Instead of resorting to a vote for something like this, I think it would be better to try and build a consensus first. I think we should go for "SMX 5 with Karaf 2.3.x and SMX 6 with Karaf 3.x", for two reasons: - From a "marketing" perspective, using Karaf 2.x for ServiceMix 5 and Karaf 3.x for ServiceMix 6 would give us the opportunity to signal two important changes to the community: officially dropping JBI/NMR support would be the highlight of ServiceMix and Karaf 3 would be the highlight for ServiceMix 6. We can probably even get the first ServiceMix 5 release out next week or so, if we focus on the task at hand and if all goes well. - From a technical perspective, this does give us quite a bit of flexibility to cater to the needs of the community by allowing us to nicely do Karaf 2.3.x/2.4.x and 3.x based releases side-by-side for a while, until we managed to convince everyone to switch to Karaf 3 ;).
