Reference Application 2.4 Release Management

@darius I am asking from a point of ignorance so please enlighten me, if platform 2.0 is a big break from the 1.x line especially the Java 8 stuff then shouldn’t the RA therefore also be 3.0 in tandem since there is no backwards compatibility even if no new features.

As an implementor I would vote for 2.4 based on the 1.11.x branch in March as that would provide the fastest time to market for us.

@jdegraft thanks for providing some insight into the planned process.
