That makes good sense. I had actually forgotten about the letter -- anyone at apachecon notice the rose colored tint to my glasses ;) Realistically, we don't know when the letter issue will be fully resolved, nor do we win by pushing it. I think it would be wise to simply adjust our goal. Along the lines of your suggestion, what if we were to focus on a release _tag_ instead? We approach everything as if we doing a release, right up to tagging the repository, publishing the docs, but not including publishing a binary. People can check out the tag and build it themselves. We will get less people trying out the code, but many still will. That allow us to keep the team focused on delivering something to the community and getting some feedback. If at some point in the near future the letter issue is resloved, we can publish the binary. Would something like that be good, or is it too release-like in nature? -David
