The subject has "release" in it Sam - which has specific meaning in the ASF as you know very well. That's what the mail was sent for- to permit a formal release. As such, I don't feel its right for this project to do a release at this stage. We don't culturally do "milestone releases" in the ASF (this is for the Muse folks not for Sam obviously). The solution for that is to use a specific revision of the SVN repo and build off that .. or just use Maven snapshots. OF COURSE I agree its a Good Thing (TM) for other projects to use this code. However, it a CRITICAL THING for any ASF release to meet the usual ASF release criteria. Do you seriously feel Sam that a project that basically imported itself from IBM a few weeks ago is ready for a release? I don't accept it is.
