An occasional SVN import based on need (same as hadoop/nutch as far as
I can see).
Lucene releases are to far and few between to always go with a "stable" version.
Solr is stocked with Lucene committers, so we know what's is going in.
 If we find a Lucene problem, I'd rather make a fix directly to Lucene
and use it rather than attempting to work around it.  Also, as a
Lucene committer, I also like making sure the current version is
stable.

Definitely.  (just no dates have been set yet)

Anything you develop would need to be QA'd for a commercial setting
anyway.  Perhaps you could pick the latest nightly build, make sure it
works for your application, and stick with it a while :-)
