How do we handle small bug fixes, like for example a small change proposed on the list yesterday about removing a debug print statement when extrapolating functions. It would take me less than a minute to fix if I fixed it directly in `master`, but 1-2 days if I first need to create an issue + a branch for the issue, then fix it, test it, merge into next, wait one day and then merge into master. The overhead for following our guidelines is quite substantial in this case, so in my opinion it's better to risk breaking `master` for quick fixes like this one, especially since such small changes can be easily reverted.
Since we started with the current work flow, we've made small changes in master. For me, small changes that are unlikely to break anything or generate any controversy should be made in master.
