Hey Bernd, Apologies for the confusion, I see your point. This is hopefully more clear: I think the *Hadoop contributors* are all in agreement that we need to re-convene on a common branch that removes most of the deltas against an Apache release that we have all accumulated (primarily security, append, trunk backports). The open question is whether *those of us that maintain 20-based branches (used internally or distributed)* try to come up with a common 20-based branch or wait for 22. That's been previously discussed on this list and there were some concerns, re-iterated on this thread, that *Hadoop contributors* should invest in 22 rather than the current 20-based branches. *Those of us who maintain Cloudera's 20-based branch* would like to reconvene with everyone on 22 - a well-tested release from trunk with security and append should get users off the current 20-based branches. However if you and/or the Apache community feels that there needs to be an Apache 20-based branch and release that reflects what people are using (security, append, various backports in YDH/CDH), *those of us who maintain Cloudera's 20-based branch* are willing to create and maintain this branch at Apache. Thanks, Eli
