The interesting part of the discussion is the one that we ought to be
having; specifically what needs to be done to put out a Release Build of
James v2.1 for the benefit of the user community.  I'm using the Jakarta
terminology for builds (q.v. http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.html).
My belief is that the POP/SMTP code is close to Release Build status (the
last Release Build was 2.0a3), and that the IMAP code is appropriate for a
contemporanous Milestone Build.  Yes, the IMAP can be included in the
Release Build, but anyone actually wanting to use it will have to keep up
with other builds; the Release Build IMAP will be buggy.

As I see it, there are 15 open bugs against James.  One thought might be
that those bugs related to a "Stable" feature (and that have enough
explanation to identify) be cleared off to declare a Release Build (even if
2.0a3 was released with a number of them open).  I believe that a number of
them are already fixed, and can be closed.

Additionally, Peter has specifically said he feels that TLS is close to
being stable, and that he'd like it included.  Others have talked about
updating the build process as part of the release plan.
