+1 Ishan It's important that the branch gets some real world testing and feedback. At this point we cannot be 100% sure about the stability of that branch to port all the changes to master.
Users don't care what is Solr 9/Solr 10 or even Mark's Solr or even a "Crazy Solr". As long as all the tests pass and they can do an upgrade of their existing cluster to that release,that IS Solr. I think we do not need to worry too much about it now. If/when we reach a point where we have a new stable release of Solr that is 100% compatible with our other branch, we can resume this discussion. As Ilan said, we may get real feedback from our users deploying it on production scale but non critical deployments. Our JUnit tests are not good enough to uncover stability issues. Let's focus on making all the tests pass and get this to the hands of our users.
