And you are correct about release timing, no release artifact should be released before the vote completes. Having said that, I have worked in projects that I needed a release every two days, and I was updating my development (pre-production) environment with manual (internal) releases, and would wait for the full release when I needed to go to production. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/
