Ciao Jody, thanks for taking the time to answer this, but I am afraid you are missing the point. I am not try to fingerpoint at someone or to understand why someone might not have backported something.
The point is that having three live branches, we should have rules that regulates how and when a fix must be backported. Then we can volunteer to vigilate and even to help with backports, but if at the moment there is no rule for this case I am bringing this up as a potential loophole in our release model, which btw has also been pointed out by a few clients already. Long story short, IMHO no regular backports might lead to less meaningful mantenaince releases. So, what could we do? :) Regards, Simone Giannecchini == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts! Visit http://goo.gl/it488V for more information. == Ing.
