Hi Ishan, Let's say Solr 10 ( or whatever name gets picked ) turns out stable enough in the alpha phase - What would the next step be?
Would we bring back all the changes to master? Do you have a sense into how that would end up playing out? Could it be brought in chunks or would it have to be wholesale ? Also do you know what features in the reference branch have been removed because they were unstable ? Finding out the features/bug-fixes in master that haven't made it to the reference branch would be easier to find out.
