   I get that it is FLOSS so normal marketing rules don't apply, but saying your beta software is the most stable software you have ever produced is kinda yikes:

      @musicman You’re right. And if I’m an enterprise user of something older, it might make me want to pull the records to see whether #Cassandra has been at the root of a lot of issues. OTOH, also as an enterprise user, if $COMPANY has already committed to using #Apache Cassandra, this might be “it is getting better, so now’s the time to go all in” time.

         maybe if you don't do RC, but go straight from beta to release this makes more sense. I don't know the Apache way on that, or if the different projects are left to their own devices on that.
