What should we do with the 6x code line?
Solr and Lucene have had fixes backported to 6x (not 6.6) since the
7.0 label was set, most in Solr. Some of the fixes are useful "in the
field", I've back-ported some of them myself.
What objections are there to a 6.7 release? We'd always prefer to
release nothing except important bug fixes on a prior branch, but the
release process for 7.0 has taken some time and changes have
accumulated.
This might be the last, best time to wrap up 6x with a 6.7 as much as
we can before officially releasing 7.0.
What do people think?

If someone happens to step forward to be a release manager for 6.7,
someone (could be the same someone, or someone else) needs to also
step forward to do the Ref Guide for 6.7. I'm the one that usually
does most of the work for the Solr Ref Guide, and I don't have time in
the next 2 months to do 6.7 and 7.0 and my day job. If no one steps up
to be RM for the Ref Guide, then I'm -1 on a 6.7.
I also don't want it to disrupt the 7.0 release at all - if there's
even the slightest chance that starting 6.7 now will delay 7.0
further, I don't want to do 6.7.

We only have backward-compatibility tests. If the new version to be
released is greater than all other versions that have ever be released,
this is just fine. However if we release an older version, we need to make
sure not only that it can read older indices, which tests check
automatically (they don't test all cases, but enough to give us good
confidence), but also that all greater versions can read indices generated
by this version (forward compatibility), which falls under the
responsibility of the release manager since it is not automatically tested.
In my opinion we should not take the risk: let's just produce sequential
releases and recommend users to use the latest version.
I see 7.0 needs to be delayed a bit more to fix some JMX issue, so this
gives us a window in case someone wants to be a RM for 6.7 without delaying
7.0, but in that case let's build a RC and start a vote as soon as possible.

Well, unfortunately I'm headed off on a 10 day vacation next week.
Mostly I'm trying to make sure we make a conscious decision about 6.7
rather than just let it slide until after 7.0 then regret not putting
the effort in now.

Just out of curiosity, do we have a plan here? Erick, I assume you are
willing to work on the release?
As much as I am not convinced with the idea of the 6.7 release, I wouldn't
oppose it and would want to work with whoever is the release manager.

I've never understood this. Why? I realize we don't want to keep
release 6.x forever, but what is it about a week in this case that's
so horrible? We're not talking about introducing back-compat issues
here.

Releasing 6.7 means we cannot start the 7.0 release process until 6.7 is
out. Do we really want to delay 7.0 even more? I won't object to releasing
6.7 but if we want to do it let's get a vote started today.
