Features are not release version tags. If there is a security bug found then we would have to release a new version of the append version, and a round of severe trout slapping would result. If someone builds the source package and there are enough votes to release it, then the version number is one of 0.22.0 (assuming trunk hasn't been released yet), 0.23.0 (if 0.22.x is already published), or 1.0.0. That is, unless the PMC decides to make it a separate product, in which case it would be hadoopend-0.20.0 (or something like that) and will either die a slow and painful death or someone else will pick it up and fork the project. ....Roy
