This is something that I've been wanting to discuss for some time. I think we should slightly adjust our release process. My suggestion is: * Decide on a cut-off date for new features in master. * At that cut-off date, make a branch for the next 7.n release. * Allow bug fixes, testing, etc. on that branch for some period. * Make the 7.n release. * Continue making bug fixes and, perhaps, low-impact new device support to that branch for the next 7.n.m release. This basically means that we'd do Mesa 7.5 really soon, and follow that with Mesa 7.5.1 in a few weeks. Mesa 7.5.1 is, basically, what Mesa 7.6 would have been. I believe that we should establish at least a loose policy of which 7.n branches we intend to maintain.
