True dat. I guess I'm just thinking based on experience from watching podlings (including my own for a while but also others) it seems that releases don't occur as often as say me as a dev on some Apache project X that wants to include Incubator podling Y's new feature Z (ahhh alphabet soup!). I guess arguably if I live in Apache project X and I want that Incubator podling Y's feature Z, I could go over to that community and start pounding my chest (or better yet, pick up a shovel and help dig the hole to bury the release in). I just think it would be nice if it were easier than that. Not a huge deal though and I'm not the type of person to start a million email thread, so I'm happy to drop it. I think I can work the process by digging the hole or pounding my chest to get Podling Y to release (with feature Z) if I absolutely had to, though.
