I hear you and I agree that having the merge happen out of sight is not the way. It won't be that way, of course. The initial stuff is fiddly but boring, which is why davisp and I are taking it on. I think a merge branch will land in our asf repo in a reasonable but unfinished state. At that point everyone will need to get involved. We have pending discussions on api changes too (couchdb still has a few warts when clustered like all_or_nothing, etc). Some of those will be implemented, others will, rightly, be removed for good. We also will want to look at perf regressions for single node clusters. The bc merge itself is the beginning, not the end, of this work.
Great news on CORS. I knew you had a patch but I didn't see it land in master or get many eyeballs yet. How does everyone feel about having it land directly into master and have it tested there? Future releases will be strictly feature branches and merges, but I'd be ok with an exception here to get this long overdue feature.
