Looking ahead, 1 issue, among others, that should warrant careful attention before the 1.0.0 RC, is GEODE-27 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-27> [0]. Getting the POM file correct is not only important for Geode, but for developers building applications using Geode. Changing a POM file after a release is always messy and not recommended since most artifact servers (e.g. Artifactory), and even local Maven repos, cache the POM file for a given version. The only time it is ever appropriate to change a POM file is during a release of a *new* version (and typically non-GA/maintenance versions; i.e. when going from RC -> GA, the POM should remain fixed until the next major.minor version, e.g. 1.0 -> 1.1). The unfortunate, but necessary, GemFire 8.1 POM file change caused issues for developers recently; those developers were consuming GemFire indirectly.
