Backport policy discussion
*
Backport policy applies to extensions
*
Wait one month for functionality on GeoServer master before backport
*
Can vote for exceptions
*
Anything that is in the release blog notes counts as a new feature
*
API changes are not backported, except to fix vulnerabilities or
with vote
Mapbox styles
*
Mapbox Styles now mostly functional (core functionality is there and
tested, still missing some features).
*
Reference docs:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/mbstyle/index.html
*
Can probably move to extension status fairly soon, but not quite yet.
General discussion
*
Could also consider promoting the CSS module, as it has been
unsupported for quite some time, but seems well-maintained and stable.
*
Java 9 modules (JSR-376, also known as Jigsaw) voted down:
