Here’s why I really like this proposal: – It focuses our thought and effort on what it’ll take for each of us to become confident in running Apache Cassandra 4.0 for our most critical applications *prior* to cutting the dot-zero release. – It marks a commitment we can make to our user community:

tl;dr: +1 for committing to testing + bugfixing after feature freeze, but I can't really see how changing the branching strategy is going to have any impact at all. I really don't think it's a big deal. People will work based on whatever priorities they've been assigned, regardless of what you do

Having an explicit way to tell the community that we all will work on testing is better than writing a patch which will sit without review for months. I think not having your patch reviewed for months is more discouraging than following the community and helping with stability of 4.0. On Tue, Ju

If we want to have a stable, usable 4.0.0 release out in the next 6-12 months, there needs to be a focused effort on getting it out - or else it’ll just never happen. This is more of a call to action and announcement of intent than an attempt to enforce policy; we can and probably will branch o

I agree with Josh. I don’t see how changing the convention around trunk will improve the process, seems like it’ll only introduce a handful of rollback commits when people forget. Other than that, it all makes sense to me. I’ve been working on a workload centric stress tool on and off for a littl

Why not just branch a 4.0-rel and bugfix there and merge up while still accepting new features or improvements on trunk? I don't think the potential extra engagement in testing will balance out the atrophy and discouraging contributions / community engagement we'd get by deferring all improvements
