+1 See also multiple discussions we already had on this during 11.2, prior to which we hadn't really voted on binaries at all. eg. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/52cb91e35bb268e32c353cafef917f9e8bf304e420e3ff08ababe707%40%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E The intention then was always to have parallel voting wherever possible, the discussion was more about whether to have one thread or multiple. The only reason we didn't have parallel votes for installers for 12.1 was delay caused by macOS issues (again!) which John sorted, and problems I had with accessing ASF signing via new computer for the Windows installer. Those sort of things happen, but are not a good reason in my opinion to make it a "NetBeans project habit", hence my first reply! :-) > >Im also struggling with why this new sub project seems to be pushing > >forward and not liasing with the NetBeans RM for this release.
