I mean that I will put a tarball up in my personal space for people to test but it will not go through the full mentor gauntlet nor will it be recommended for more than temporary use. There was a long discussion about this back in May in the "Cassandra 0.3 RC is out" thread: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-cassandra-dev/200905.mbox/browser My impression was that the consensus from the mentors, including Matthieu and Bertrand, was that it's both okay and common to do nightly builds or betas like this, as long as it's not implied that these are Official ASF Releases. -Jonathan
