[DISCUSS] Release plan 1.6.6

[Christopher <ct...@apache.org>]

Okay, so now that 1.8.0 is wrapping up, I'd like to push out a release of
1.6.6, and plan to cease active development on that branch.

This will allow us to focus our development and bugfixes on the latest
releases, while closing out the 1.6 line with a rollup of the bugfixes
we've worked so far.

Does anybody wish to act as release manager for 1.6.6? Perhaps somebody who
hasn't done a release? If not, I'll volunteer to take it on, but I want to
give somebody else the opportunity first.

Currently, I see around 50 issues for 1.6.6 in JIRA. I've bumped a few
already, so there's only a few left, which could be bumped or not,
depending on if they get finished quickly.

Makes sense given the level of effort already. The entire change strikes 
me as a bit scary. I hope someone will run some extra testing to make 
sure that we aren't introducing obvious regressions in a .6 bugfix release.

Alright, so I'll just take this one on, to knock it out. I'd like to wait
until ACCUMULO-4391 is merged, though.

I'm going to try to create a release candidate soon (today), so people can
begin testing on an essentially frozen branch. If there are no surprises or
changes, I'll start the vote next Monday from those same artifacts.

In case it gets missed in the traffic: I just diff'ed 
rel/1.6.5..origin/1.6 and updated the user-manual with the changes. 
Documentation should be good to go for 1.6.6.
