hbase 2.2.0 came out in june 2019. That's over 8 months ago. It's been 2 months since the discussion about EOM for 2.1 after we release 2.3.0. at the time 2.3 was close. Now there are weeks of stabilization before RCs. There is the beginning of a discussion for if we will even use a branch-2.3 or just release off of branch-2.
I no longer think it is prudent to wait for 2.3.0 or even for branch-2.3. both will come when they get here. We should not continue to maintain an extra release line waiting for them. If HBase 2.2 is worthy of the stable pointer then folks who would adopt a 2.1.z that gets released next month should just move to the next 2.2 instead.
