> Why remove the day limit Andrew? 

Both proposals seek middle ground between one JIRA that rolls up all related 
changes, or a bunch of JIRAs for different aspects of a single commit. I think 
both extremes are best to be avoided. I think Todd's 24 hour limit is overly 
and artificially constraining and not that realistic for a newly committed 
change to be well tested by the community. Bounding changes between releases is 
definitely good for sanity. So is there some time limit in between that has 
consensus support then?

I don't see this as an issue? People generally know how to use grep, and the 
proposal includes an agreement to use commit messages of the form "Amend 
HBASE-XXXX".
