> Do we have any sort of backport criteria? It seems like we could do this forever. Bugfixes are nice and no one wants to ship known bugs, but that's an endless process. I think we should focus on regressions or we're going to continue to grow the amount of work to ship a release. @mbutrovich you bring up a good point, I do think we need a `Release Policy` of some sorts to guide this. Thinking about it a bit I think the two things that should be backported are: - Breaking changes to APIs introduced in this release. This avoids a breaking change cycle and is relatively low risk of introducing regressions (the APIs are new anyway). Breaking changes to APIs that were not introduced in this release need to go through a breaking change cycle anyway and can wait for the next major release. - Bug fixes for bugs that would otherwise be introduced by this release. If the bug was present in a previous release it can wait until next minor / patch release. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
