Hi folks!

FYI, Apache Yetus is doing RCs for their 0.13.0 release and it's got a
lot of changes. Summary from the release manager:

> This release is huge, potentially the biggest one we've done since
project launch. There are a
> lot of changes, many incompatible.  There is a lot of new/reworked
documentation.  Please plan
> on spending some time with it, as this one will almost certainly not be a
drop-in replacement.

The current RC is going to fail due to some issues that came up in
testing of the candidate.

dev@yetus.apache.org subject "[VOTE] Apache Yetus 0.13.0-RC2"
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/re5d9957989e2311d36ee6ffa0e4c0c3d68d25b9429546104a5f02851%40%3Cdev.yetus.apache.org%3E

The Yetus community is looking for some feedback from downstream users
who rely on yetus on ASF build infrastructure. I think HBase is one of
the larger projects using Yetus at the ASF, so it'd be good if we
could try out things and see how they go before things get too far
with additional release candidates.

I don't have cycles at the moment so I thought I'd send this heads up
to the wider audience.

If you're game, please give a ping here and join the yetus dev mailing
list. I'm happy to give pointers to where things would need to change
for folks who aren't already familiar with the community build infra.
