That's what we need -- some mentor time! We can use any code (a license is a license is a license). The question is whether the Incubator PMC will allow it to become M1?
Cliff, James, Paul - any opinion? In a nutshell: we have a "fix" for MINA that Qpid depends on, but has not yet been adopted by a released MINA version. We want to "Release early and often" becuase the user base is building and they'd like some more fixed targets.... Can Qpid still release an M1?

Chapter and verse, please. We've had a number of people over the past few days assert what the "real" rules are, and now you've just added another. These assertions have greatly differed. If I were the M1 release manager, I would want to see an official Apache document that clearly states what's possible in this regard. I am surprised that our mentors haven't chimed in yet. --steve
