I was going to put up a 2.0.5 RC to address https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21791.Its been about a month since 2.0.4. There are 50 odd fixes in 2.0.5 currently [1] mostly perfunctory backports.
Stepping back though, I'd like to entertain our letting the branch-2.0.x releases go. After 2.0.5, let's not backport going forward and encourage users to move to branch-2.1. I can make a release should a super-critical arise but otherwise, will let the branch go to seed. We have enough branches as it is (smile). Thanks, S 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HBASE/versions/12344604
