Arun, it is unclear if MAPREDUCE-5211 has implications in 2.0.4 as per 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5211?focusedCommentId=13670574&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13670574

Hence, there's a good chance that it never will be backported. And I don't
have any plans to created 'a release per patch'.

There were precedents in four-numbered schemes before: 0.20.20[3-5].0 comes to
mind.

As for 2.0.5-alpha: The release numbering games and votes that had happened in
the last few weeks are very confusing. Some of them never been concluded, the
branches are moved and artifact versions seem to be colliding. 2.0.4.x seems
to work well for the stabilization purposes and it will allow to unblock
downstream and integration projects quickly.
