> the stability of downstream project bring some backport load Keeping downstream projects up to date with the latest release is an especially important concern. If a downstream project cannot upgrade, any project that depends on both that downstream project and DataFusion will also be unable to upgrade because of Cargo’s major version resolution rules. There may be cases where the compatibility issue could be addressed relatively easily in DataFusion (for example, by gating the incompatible behavior behind a feature flag), while the proper downstream adaptation would require months of focused work and effectively stall other development efforts. Strong +1 on having a backport policy, but ideally these scenarios should also be taken into account when defining it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
