Github user nickwallen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1188 > I'm assuming this always pulls HEAD from master to cut the release. Do we need or desire any support for cutting a release from a non-HEAD commit? It would be very useful to continue to merge PRs into master while a release is being voted on. I had thought that @mattf-horton use to do the releases in such a way that this was not a problem, but I could be wrong. For example, this morning I merged PR #1174 into master that I don't necessarily want in the next release. I didn't think about the potential impact to the release if we have to cut a new RC. Sorry about that @justinleet .
