In order to maintain stability of the 1.8 branch we should have some

into the branch.  In particular, I would hope that people plan to do
development on the mainline, not on the 1.8 branch..  And then we can
pull completed work/bug-fixes/etc. onto the branch once they are
sufficiently tested.
In principle I totally agree. On the other hand IIRC with the 1.6/1.7 branches we didn't run any specific policy. If there was a bugfix, it was simply applied to both branches immediately (if applicable). IMHO we can simply continue this way, and as soon as really new features are getting implemented in HEAD, things i.e. the commits will very likely start to separate by themselves.

Anyway I probably won't commit much in the time to come. So if anyone comes up with some well-thought policy, I'd be all in for that.
