But that won't make infrastructure very happy because that will create a lot of traffic on Apache infrastructure if the release isn't mirrored. Furthermore, we want to give out a signal that we're back in the business and that means an announcement through various channels. And that in turn will create traffic. I would strongly suggest we send it out through the distribution system, i.e. a vote is necessary. > > - tag and release > > > > If it's possible I'd like to start the vote tomorrow and do the release > > around Thursday/Friday.
