I fully understand why you (@douardda and @progval) are thinking in that way. However, this is categorized as `Improvement` instead of `Bug`, isn't it? Technically, `dlcdn.apache.org` is a caching layer without any guarantee of file existence.  From my perspective, `main` branch is the most active branch (for developing and receiving pull requests) which contributing the download traffic to ASF site. It's good to have because it will be in sync always with `orc-format` repository and its latest version. However, for the release branches, we don't think that's true. In general, as one of the open source community, 1. Apache ORC community follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org) officially. 2. For all release branches, we don't backport the `Improvement` with one exception which `tools` module. There was an official decision about `tools` module exception in the dev mailing list. 3. FYI, the feature freeze of Apache ORC v2.0 happens already when we cut a branch, `branch-2.0`. After that, we are focusing QA activity(testing, bug fixing and polishing) instead of core changes. In short, this improvement contribution is simply late to be a part of 2.0. It will be 2.1. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
