Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1999:
------------------------------------
I've been around the ASF long enough now to know that what seems like iron clad
policy, often isn't.
It's often just someone editing a page to reflect what they think should be the
policy, and no one else complaining too much - even in cases when there
clearly was no consensus.
Related to this issue, I remember the last big thread back in '06 on the infra
list. And in that case too, it was a single individual that took it upon
themselves to add the text you now see (and there certainly was no previous
consensus or even discussion on the text added).
Trying to draw sharp lines between developers and users is a lost cause...
lucene and solr are for developers themselves and it's one big continuum
between user and developer. Having people use nightly builds is very important
for lucene/solr development. Having a pointer to developer resources from
*anywhere* should be fine.
The *only* important point I see is to clearly communicate that a nightly build
is not an official ASF release.
