I definitely support moving to 3.0 to remove deprecations and update dependencies.
For the v2 work, we know that there will be a major API changes and standardization of behavior from the new logical plans going into the next release. I think it is a safe bet that this isn’t going to be completely done for the next release, so it will still be experimental or unstable for 3.0. I also expect that there will be some things that we want to deprecate. Ideally, that deprecation could happen before a major release so we can remove it. I don’t have a problem releasing 3.0 with an unstable v2 API or targeting 4.0 to remove behavior and APIs replaced by v2. But, I want to make sure we consider it when deciding what the next release should be. It is probably better to release 3.0 now because it isn’t clear when the v2 API will become stable. And if we choose to release 3.0 next, we should *not* aim to stabilize v2 for that release. Not that we shouldn’t try to make it stable as soon as possible, I just think that it is unlikely to happen in time and we should not rush to claim it is stable. rb On Thu, Sep 6, 2018 at 9:31 AM Sean Owen <sro...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think this doesn't necessarily mean 3.0 is coming soon (thoughts on > timing? 6 months?) but simply next.
