Hello,

Why are there different version numbers and different release cycles for
otherwise interdependant artifacts?  It's not always obvious which versions
are compatible with each other.

In the same way that you don't need to wait for a change in every package
of one of the current artifacts before releasing a new version of a
subproject, I don't see any harm in having a single "Apache HTTP Client"
project with all of the current deliverables as part of it (core, client,
mime, etc).  It would be simpler from my perspective (I don't know if my
view is shared with others); using feature branches would avoid having to
defer releases due to incomplete work-in-progress, so I don't see any
disadvantages.

Just a thought...
