+1
As already stated, it would be nice to have the ability to have just releases with fixes vs. forcing users to consume new (and possibly disruptive) features.

+1 to Sanjiva's comment. I hope we don't want to make the life harder
for the people who are working hard for the release, by an effort to
make the life easier (is it?) to the rest.
Merging is, at least theorotically, a great idea and a concept. But when
conflicts are coming, practically its a nightmare.
And as Bill suggested, we can *not* do quick releases after minor fixes.
The release process of Axis2 is becoming problematic due to the
dependencies to other projects. So you can not decide at one point, at
least now, and release an Axis2 version. Simple example for you to
understand is releasing Axis2 with SNAPSHOTs. Hope everyone who involved
during past releases can remember the pain we had when once we released
Axis2 with a SNAPSHOT.
Please understand that I'm not opposing Bill's idea. But I know the pain
we are/were going thru whenever we are/were releasing.
