If I may: I agree with David's proposal to have a 1.5.2 dedicated to bug fixes, with 1.6.0 being for enhancements. Our company's product fails with current 1.5.2 snapshots (while it works with 1.5.1 GA), something to do with JAX-RS but it could be related to JAXB changes, not sure yet.
@David : do you have a link to a 1.5.2 snapshot which could be close to what you plan for 1.5.2 ?
