Thanks for the recap. I just couldn't remember where people were at on this. I'm a big +1 for releasing out of branches. The biggest downside from my pov is that if the release takes a long time, you spend some time cherry-picking. That being said, I think the other pros (development isn't stalled, you don't have force pushes, etc) outweigh the cherry-picking pain. Especially with a fast moving project like Arrow. What do others think?
