Greetings, I recently created a minor PR for trunk and realized I should probably put it on 0.11.0, assuming a release of 0.11.x eventually gets merged into trunk.
But looking at the GitHub branches, I found that 0.11.0 is ahead of trunk by 404 commits, which seems rather a large difference: https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/0.11.0 What exactly is the policy of commits added to older versions? Suppose a version 0.11.0.3 would come out, based on changes on 0.11.0 since 0.11.0.2, would 0.11.0 then be merged onto trunk? I would expect it, but it looks like that's not the case. Am I mistaken? I looked around a bit but couldn't find a document stating the policy on this. I was reminded of reading the contrib guidelines for Cassandra, another Apache project. Which had this on its page: http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/development/patches.html#choosing-the-right-branches-to-work-on Which clearly states that older version X is only to receive bugfixes, really old version Y only receives critical bug fixes, etc... Is there a document detailing this policy for Kafka? If there is, I probably overlooked it. If so, where should I have found it? Kind regards, Koen De Groote
