Trying to inject a positive thought here...
Well, it's a label. Frankly, I'm almost getting used to it. I agree that it has no meaning in the long-term, since it is a floater, and eventually needs to have a real label attached to it, but that's a minor point.
In fact that is how we manage release planning at work. Abstract labels are applied to a release after it has been labeled with a real label, then changes are labelled with the abstract label and eventually a real label is applied. You can move the labels to change the contents of the release, continuous integration works on the abstract labels. I'm not proposing that for here, but I do understand and I know it works (I'd be out of a job if it didn't)
Well, that is another problem, which I mentioned earlier today. Stefano and Norman appear to feel that there was a vote to cast in stone what goes into next-major.
That still needs to be resolved, there was a vote on general@ (I still haven't wound it up) to define the terms and a vote about what was being planned, but I don't think we all accepted either of them, not really.
I appear to have been cast as the official naysayer (ironic, but addressed in another e-mail), but it appears that no one who voted for the plan actually agreed with it at the level assumed by Stefano and Norman. So that's an unresolved tension.
Agreed This is a symptom of the communication issue which we need to resolve if we're going to manage to work together. We need to get much better at cooperating and do it quickly.
Again, I just asked that he stop removing trunk from the list of versions in JIRA, since trunk *IS* the actual place holding that code, and (to be specific) when we branch next-major, it may or may not have (almost certainly will not have) all of the issues closed that are closed in trunk.
What we need to do is to record *both*
Clearly my request has escalated beyond all proportion for what was intended.
Again I believe that that is a symptom of the disfunctional family we are becoming.
