Hi David! The fastest way to get a release with AVRO-1723 in it is to subscribe to the dev@avro list and help push forward on getting a release out. we can discussion options for it on dev@avro. For example, if there are too many blockers waiting around for 1.8.3 it might make sense to get a 1.8.2.1 out.
