Right, but we are not a company and we advance with sparetime so we can
simply decide the order of steps in the cycle and not dates.

All of us agreed on this. We'll have an alpha release soon.

I think that the container issue is MINOR and somewhat unrelated to the
release.

When you release a war application you declare the servlet containers that
are able to run it but you don't "bind" your application to a specific
container.

I simply think that we should not add workarounds in our code to avoid bugs
in the phoenix version we are currently distributing with james. I would
prefer to bundle a newer container.

And about phoenix being well-known: can you provide links of software
currently using an unreleased phoenix release (either 4.0.4 we currently
bundle or the trunk)?

I personally don't like this option: people would start asking why we bundle
2 container, what are the differences and we don't have good answers.
