I'd argue there is nothing wrong with what we and AFAICS numerous other
ASF projects do here. These are official releases of artifatcs that have
a slightly different lifecycle than the framework releases relevant to
end users, which is why they were separated. End users will consume
theses artifacts as transitive dependencies when upgrading to the next
framework release, but it does not make sense to download them or use or
upgrade them directly in end user software projects.

So these are official releases that do not qualify for, say, issueing a
press release :)

But if the board thinks this needs adjustment we will be happy to apply
the then requested changes.

Actually we have done this in the past, and as I stated, I have simply
overseen it :) But this also raised the question above...

Given that there is enough time left before the board meeting starts,
I'll adjust it then.

Thanks,
