Hi,

I'd like to know what the rules are supposed to for submitting to 5.6 (LTS).

Should we enforce the strict rules of other minor releases (only regressions 
and P2+)?

IMHO, 5.6 is not like 5.5. So with another 2+ years of 5.6 lifetime, more 
relaxed rules should apply.

I'd like all bug-fixes to go to 5.6 first, even if the priority is not high, 
and regressions cannot be ruled out (they never can, anyway).

I also think that dead code elimination should be in-scope for 5.6, to not 
construct unessesary diffs between 5.6 and dev.

And last, some authors target optimisations at 5.6, some at 5.7 and others (me 
included, even though I sympathise with submitting to 5.6) at dev/5.8. What's 
the stance on this?

Thanks,
Marc
