again I would like to hear more opinions than yours and mine about
the roadmap.
Probably in the next weeks we'll also test the trunk more, so I think
we'll decide to backport it later (next alpha/beta?) if the trunk
works fine.
Since there are major refactorings coming up, IMHO we need to get a
2.3.0 release out of the door
and have a branch where to release bugfixes from (2.3.1+).
The follow-up release (be it 2.4 or 3.0) should then be released out
of the trunk.

Maybe my words were not so clear. When I wrote "backport it later" the
*it* was related to the lock/unlock patch only and eventually bugfixes.
ok, now I got it.
We already have a v2.3 branch with the content of the 2.3.0a2 unreleased
version and a couple of merged bugfixes from trunk.
I have not been able to track exactly where the branch happened, but if
it is stable I am fine with it.
I also agree that 2.4 will come out from trunk and not from the v2.3
branch, and I hope we won't need a 2.3.1 to fix bugs ;-)
Your confidence is overwhelming me :-)
Do you think that the current v2.3 branch code is feature complete for
2.3.0 release and we should simply test and add critical bug fixes
before a 2.3.0 final
yes
or do you think there is something more to be done
before a 2.3.0 final?
in terms of adding features: no, not that I know of.
at least JAMES-432 is yet to be done. we could as well set its priority
to BLOCKER.
That said I think that everyone will agree that we should release the
current v2.3 as soon as possible: 2.3.0a3 or 2.3.0b1 or 2.3.0rc1 is not
the main issue for the release itself, I just want to understand what
we'll do the next weeks in that branch.
I would not set that in stone. we can always decide later. for now, I
would give the 2.3-branch a rest after the release and keep new features
away from it.
