Hi there Apache Geode devs,
It has been some weeks since the proposed 1.10 release was cut. We've
gone through a few cycles where we keep on submitting "please include
ticket GEODE-XXX" because it is critical and will break the system.
WHICH in reality tells me that current develop is broken and unstable.
I'm going to suggest that we abandon the current 1.10 release branch. I
cannot shake the feeling that our continuous cherry picking into a
branch will result in either the branch becoming unmaintainable, given
we have only select fixes in the branch OR we end up with a branch that
is more stable than our current development branch, which would result
in us having to rebase the develop branch onto the 1.10 branch.
I propose that once we see the pipeline is clean and green for a solid
we then again attempt to cut 1.10 branch.
We CANNOT continue adding to a branch in order to stabilize it.. It just
means the branch we cut from is unstable. If we cannot cut a branch from
develop without having to have weeks of stabilization cycles, then our
main branch is broken...
Either way, not a good spot to be in.
Thoughts?
