> Bin compatibility checks for 1.1.0 can be done against 1.0.x jars like we
already do today.

The problem is not whether it can be done, the problem is that its a manual
process that if not done can introduce binary incompatible changes which
actually already happened in the past, i.e. we forgot to update the latest
binary version that MIMA checks when 1.0.x branch happened which means
that theoretically speaking someone could have introduced bincompat changes.

Just in general, there is a reason why
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-dynver#previous-version-detection
exists, it's because of previous learnings by OS projects that doing things
manually greatly increases the chance of problems seeping through.

voting and uptake work that this entails.

I don't like having the do a vote either, but the ASF process mandates that
even though the milestone is in essence not a release it still needs to be
voted on

> I am even less enthusiastic about a 1.1.0-M0 release that has no
meaningful
1.1.0 changes and that is basically a copy of the 1.0.1 release.

Then we shouldn't be creating the `-M0` tag when the major is bumped because
we either are a milestone or not, and whether binaries come from that is an
irrelevant detail. That's like saying snapshots of -M0 after a branch are
useless
because they contain no meaningful changes and the reason we put the tag
there in the first place is because of the snapshots in the first place.

Also this is the reason why it's -M0 and not -M1, the 0 indicates that
there are
no changes, a hypothetical -M1 release indicates the first milestone release
that actually has changes.

In summary, if a tag exists there should be a binary version of it.
