> Christopher switched the fix version to 1.8, I guess because adding new
functionality should go into a minor release.
Yeah, this is something we're trying to stick to. Adding this wouldn't be
expressly prohibited from older branches because the o.a.a.core.iterators
package (and its sub-packages) aren't covered in our public API definition. If
you have strong feelings that this should show up in 1.6 or 1.7 too, make your
argument (JIRA is probably better than here though).
> So I'm targeting this against the master branch, because it doesn't look
like a 1.8 branch exists yet.
1.8 is the current "latest" so it lives in "master". A 1.8 branch will
likely only show up after a 1.8.0 release.
