Would like to open up discussion on the release schedule for 2.10.
For GSIP 142 we had the following pros and cons for the selected “Upgrade Now Proposal”:
Pros:
- We would update spring now … and avoid what happened to wicket
- Developers able to use Java 8 features
- less project risk
- Users could run with confidence on Java 8 (Meeting security policies without licensing Java 7 from oracle).
Cons:- Delay to release schedule (2-3 months), would need to restore schedule or use 9 month schedule
- can we do this quickly and safely?
How would we like to restore the schedule, or would we like to look at a 9 month schedule?
