[hibernate-dev] HSEARCH Preparations for 4.0.0 Final

[Steve Ebersole]

I have not seen the discussion to which you refer.  The issue, in my 
experience, is that it really takes the project lead being extremely 
proactive about the scheduling of issues.  And we just don't have that 
type of bandwidth.

While I'm not 100% inlined with their rule, I am sympathetic to the idea of a managed flow of JIRA issues. I'm not sure how this can be applied to (or at least get closer with) search, validator and ogm but I'm open to ideas.
