We have found several issues (see Jira) which could impact users of
2.2. I'd like to get at least the bug-fix ones, released. I see two
ways to do that:
1) have a special delta hot-fix release
2) do another plain release
The value of doing a hot fix release is that it is treated as a "delta"
against the main release, and this means that there's potentially less
for the incubator PMC to do, in reviewing this. I say potentially,
because I'm not sure what they actually do.
The downside of a hot-fix is that it is harder for users to "install" -
they have to download 2.2, and then download the hot-fix, and then do
some action to incorporate the updates.
The value of a plain release is just the opposite to the above 2 points.
I'm in favor of doing another plain release; we could mitigate the PMC
review efforts by clearly calling out which things changed. What do
others think?
