Hi Ant, even if I would like to have releases here, during the time and speaking with you all I changed my mind, in the way that Lab should not allow releases.
My non-technical concern is about the community around every single project, even if there could be PMCs available to vote a release, we know that at 90% of the cases there's a "one-man-band" behind it :( OTOH I understand my Commons fellow Mladen because the situation I just described sometimes happens when speaking about components inside the project, maintained sometimes by a single committer. My personal position is open to both the options, I would be maybe one of the firsts on getting benefit from the karma of Lab releases, so I'm available to put my effort on the table to discuss about it. just my poor 2 cents, have a nice day!
