Sorry folks, I feel I may have come off in a different way than I intended. > Please do not involve corporate/enterprise thinking/talking into OSS project unless your enterprise wants to offer its help! My point was simply that there are large bases of Avro users who could benefit from such a fix. My apologies if bringing an enterprise perspective into the discussion is contrary to the Avro project's normal thought processes. Noting that large-scale users (particularly if there are several) are interested in something is fairly common in the other Apache projects I've worked on, but I recognize that different communities can be very different. I completely understand that work is volunteer here and I am not expecting anything, only trying to provide perspective that may not have been considered. > This is a fair criticism! Actually I did not mean this as a criticism of the Avro project, I think it can just as easily be a criticism of enterprise mindsets and upgrade paces :) But regardless, thank you for starting a discussion! Your mail has also made me see why my backport request might be a bit larger than I thought. It sounds like the Avro project has historically not really done patch releases on non-current minor versions, meaning the scope of the request has expanded beyond "backport this PR" to "backport this PR and cut a patch release specifically for this issue." Completely understood if that's too big of an ask, and I see now why you brought the 1.11.0 release into the picture. I will follow the dev list discussion. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
