I do periodic analysis of bug fixes for backport and don't have a
process for marking issues that have been analyzed and rejected as
candidates. Perhaps I am label happy this week but was thinking that it
would be nice to add labels.
derby_backport_<version>_no
to mark the ones that have been rejected with the maximum version where
a backport is determined impractical or unfeasible. For example
derby_backport_10_5_no would mean it was looked at and determined
inappropriate for 10.5 backporting. Does this sound reasonable? It
could be added during the backport analysis phase or even as someone
fixes a bug if they think there is a reason it shouldn't be backported.
Thanks
