I have always liked that option better, I don't see the point of calling GA something that has been tested for 3(+/-) days, instead of voting on something that has been in use for a couple of months and is known to be good for sure. When you say it is a "policy", do you mean an Apache policy? or a Struts release policy? If it an Struts policy I am big +1 for changing it. In the meantime, doing what Martin suggested will alleviate the problem a bit.
