Why don’t we follow our existing procedures until we make and document new decisions? Judging by the way this discussion is going, it could take a week for the community to reach a consensus, which is hardly a reason to delay the release altogether. I agree with you about the importance of release naming and the lifetime of temporary binaries, but I suggest we start a new thread where we can discuss these issues. > Discussing names of private variables or an extra parenthesis in docs... > Those are actual "bikeshedding".

We should not fight it, but rather embrace it, and make Ignite code clearly stand out among other Apache projects. Having said that, I would be against holding back a release because some variable was named wrong.
