Thanks for starting this thread, Arun. Your proposal seems reasonable to me. I suppose we would like new features and improvements to go into 2.8 then? If yes, what time frame are we looking at for 2.8? Looking at YARN, it would be nice to get a release with shared-cache and a stable version of reservation work. I believe they are well under way and should be ready in a few weeks.
Regarding 2.7 release specifics, do you plan to create a branch off of current branch-2.6 and update all issues marked fixed for 2.7 to be fixed for 2.8?
