I'm OK with the change but would like to understand the proposal a

Not knowing Maven enough I do have a few questions.
What would be the equivalent to branches? How would we manage the
"cut" for stabilizing and releasing?
Maven only handles the "tag" creation setp. If I understand Matt's
proposal correctly, the release manager would still do the
branching and once the code is stable, the community votes to
release the code as it without further changes. They you run the
maven tools to create the tags and the binaries.
I thought from looking at the maven dev list that maven now or in a
couple days is going to support staging releases. I'm considerably
less than thrilled by the idea of changing what we vote on,
especially just when it looks like hope is on the horizon.
I'm definitely in favor of releasing the specs now, but I'd be more
comfortable voting on binaries as we have in the past.
ATM I'm in an internet constrained environment and haven't been able
to do a review of what's up for voting. Hopefully this will be fixed
in a day or two.

How would we manage *TCK*?
Again, if I understand Matt's proposal, this would not apply to
Geronimo server, so TCK is not an issue.
