No, the goal is to let them move from 2.0 to 1.4 directly.


So they are just hanging around all the time waiting for use to finish up
1.3
and then start backporting stuff of 2.0? That can take weeks and weeks.
We never really have have solid deadlines we are just a bunch of coders
that spend time as much as we can on wicket. So it is finished when it is
finished


secondly if we  release that fast as it is  now proposed then we

No, 1.4  will occur when  1.3 is frozen  of course.  And  we'll be
inciting users to upgrade.

What is then the point of 1.3 if we say that if it is really a quickly build
for people to use
but it is replaces quickly with something else that they pretty much have to
upgrade to?

We can't and i stress this, we can't drop maintenance support of a release
version
that quickly is if the upgrade path means api changes! That is something we
just can't do

one extra point i also don't like is that we are now releasing many releases
under the
incubator flag.. I also don't like that.
