Not much effort. If they use their own sitemaps or private plugins, then there are some tweaks needed.

We should fix such bugs in trunk, and then apply the proven and reviewed fix to the branch that needed it. Hopefully only the immediate past release, but wherever the committer or patch contributor needs it. Doing it in the branch first is dangerous. People would be likely to be using it directly in production. I for one am not keen to fire up a copy of 0.7 just to review a fix. I already have a 0.9-dev seed running here so it is easier. We have the forrestbot running every hour on our zone server to do continuous testing via the seed-sample. It only keeps trunk up-to-date, so does not test any branches. -David
