Just forked ? :-)
By the time we release Alpha1 (12 July), the 6.0 branch will be running for almost one
month on its own branch (cut in 17 Jul). Also the work of 6.0 features has been started
way before the actual tagging took place (e.g. remote querying).
Sorry I'm just not used to this approach. It might be my own habits, I
would generally consider it way too short but have no specific
problems with it. All cool things we planned where moved out anyway..
I just hope we'll not have to wait too long for some of those.

Why do we need to release all the refactoring in the first alpha? There are three
Alphas(https://issues.jboss.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12315590) scheduled for
6.0 in which we'll have time to incrementally add more API changes.

why?
Alpha don't require API freezes. OTOH we have some features that can be released to
the community already:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3109
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2861
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-761
Bear in mind that we are targeting 3-4 months release cycles for a Final, so we should
keep releasing every 2 weeks or so (preferably shorter release cycles).

Again I don't see how these are related. There are more alphas on the way in which we
can tackle that.
