[DISCUSS] Bigtop 0.3.1: target release date, supported platforms,
bill of materials
Changing this into a [DISCUSS] thread to not confuse the vote.

I'm also curious about the list of supported platforms (and I admit this is
an open ended policy question, rather than anything else): what do
we, as a community, want the overlap between Bigtop 0.3.0 and
Bigtop 0.3.1 supported platforms be? Or is that even an issue?
Thanks,
Roman.

This makes sense.
But I would also be interested in hearing about it from people using or
planning or using such release for their deployments such as the people
behind the MTG distribution. I don't want to make their work more
complicated.

A continuation of this logic would lead to preventing new major release of
comprising components from going into a maintenance release, would it not?
Which is perfectly fine with me, btw. I want to undestand what our release
principles are:
- major release includes
new major versions of the components/new components
new versions of supported OSes/new OSes
- maintenance release includes
minor and subminor versions of the components/no new components
same set of supported OSes
If this seems like a reasonable rule of thumb - let me reshape the BOM
accordingly e.g. put Fedora 15 instead of Fedora 16.
