On the version number we use, if it is greater than 2.0.4, I really don't care. Though I think Konstantin argument that branch-2 is publishing as 2.0.5-SNAPSHOT has some ground (still, it could be argued that they are DEV JARs so they can be in flux).
On the changes that went into this RC, they are exactly a fix for Sqoop2 to work with the release and a build fix for Bigtop. As far as I can tell there is nothing else in this RC as compared with 2.0.4-alpha. So, effectively, this RC is just a fixup of 2.0.4 for Sqoop and Bigtop. MAPREDUCE-5211 seems nasty enough to be included. But I'd leave that to the RM (Cos in this case) to decide if he wants to go ahead without it and then do a 2.0.4.2. Personally i would cut a second RC including MAPREDUCE-5211. But I don't think that not having it would be reason enough for a -1 (if that is the reason for the -1). Thanks.
