[incubation] parallel releases?

[Jeen Broekstra <jeen.broekstra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Me again. I need a quick word of advice on doing parallel releases: we (that is, 
technology.rdf4j) are aiming to get our first proper release out the door - we 
have tentatively planned to submit for review on Wednesday July 27, aiming to 
conclude review and release on August 3.

We are planning to do two parallel releases however: our main release, 2.0, is 
the main code base and the most recent version of our project. However, we also 
want to release a version 1.0, which is a backport of our code base to Java 7 
(our main project is Java 8).

Technically there is no reason for us not to do both releases at once, but I'm 
slightly worried about making the review process itself too cumbersome. Should I 
go ahead and just submit both releases for review at the same time (in separate 
reviews, of course)? Or would it be better/easier to do them sequentially?

Thanks,

Jeen
