This gives a bit of an insight about how another Apache project that builds a key infrastructure product, manages releases.
They seem to have an organized process of deciding how and when new features get added.
This also allows them to have a pattern of frequent releases so bug fixes get into an official release without having to backport everything.
Ron -------- Forwarded Message -------- Hi all, Next Monday we'll feature freeze for our upcoming 4.7 release. We looked through all open Pull Requests and below is our "whish list" to get in 4.7. Feel free to nominate any other changes that should go in 4.7. No guarantees, there is limited time so only PRs that we actively work on will make it. The RC of 4.7.0 is scheduled for Monday Dec 14th so that we all will have a nice Christmas present ;-) Please help us review these PRs. Most have already had some review and when we can reach 2xLGTM we can include them in 4.7 on time and make another great release. Happy testing and reviewing!
