Hi community,

We created the bui...@flink.apache.org mailing list as an effort to be more
transparent about build instabilities, especially about issues that were
only
surfacing in CRON builds at the time, such as, Scala 2.12 and Java 9
compilation errors.

While the situation has gotten better, there still occasionally issues
concerning the CRON builds that are reported late (e.g., [1][2]). The
mailing
list was created almost 2 months ago. However, last time Chesnay checked,
there were only 21 subscribers. To continue the high quality of our
releases,
we should aim at keeping the master and the release branches stable at all
times. Therefore, I encourage everyone who is developing Flink to monitor
the
builds mailing list. To subscribe, all you need to do is to send an empty
email to:

    builds-subscr...@flink.apache.org

Best,
Gary
