[Swift-devel] [VOTE] 0.6 release plan

[Ben Clifford]

This is a new attempt to make a 0.6 release. The release plan below is 
roughly the same as my last abortive attempt at making a release, except 
that I no longer propose using dev.globus release procedure.

I will be the release manager for Swift 0.6.

I'm going to make a release candidate for 0.6 sometime 
within the next three days, and hope to release that as 0.6 proper next 
weekend (maybe 6 days from now).
 
I'm hoping to have a single release candidate, with minor bugs being noted 
and fixed in 0.7 rather than causing a new release candidate.
 
I'm planning on announcing coasters and replication as experimental 
features which we encourage interested parties to experiment with and 
report their experiences.

There will be no repository freeze for this release.

This release will use the traditional Swift release process, not the 
dev.globus release process. A release will be made when the release 
manager (me) sees fit, rather than based on voting.

This release plan is subject to 'Lazy Majority' approval, which means that 
this plan is automatically approved until/unless someone votes -1. So 
pretty much you do not need to vote +1 until/unless someone votes -1. If 
you wish to vote -1, it appears that you should vote -1 specifically for 
the issues that you disagree with rather than the plan as a whole.
