I think its a good idea to release hadoop-0.20.203. It moves Apache Hadoop a step forward.
Looks like the technical difficulties are resolved now with latest Arun's commits. Being a superset of hadoop-0.20.2 it can be considered based on one of the official Apache releases. I don't think there was a lack of discussions on the lists about the issues included in the release candidate. Todd did a thorough review of the entire security branch. Many developers participated in discussions. Agreeing with Stack I wish HBase was considered a primary target for Hadoop support. But it is not realistic to have it in hadoop-0.20.203. I have some experience running a version of this release candidate on a large cluster. It works. I would add a couple of patches, which make it run on Windows for me like HADOOP-7110, HADOOP-7126. But those are not blockers.
