+1 Sounds reasonable to me. It won't affect our implementation either way, but I can see it would be very helpful for those libraries who are upgrading in the near future.

This would mean that: * committers would be free (but not obligated) to backport such bugfixes (note that all testing and QA guidelines would be in effect for such bugfixes) * Evergreen developers in general would be encouraged to write such fixes * users would be encouraged to report such bugs This would not be tantamount to full community support for using webstaff for circulation in production — I don't think we're at the point where we can do so, unfortunately — but would mean that folks who are using it in a beta test capacity would have at least some hope that bugs opened in LP would be looked at. One thing I should mention is that at some point relatively soon backporting webstaff fixes may become more time-consuming [1]; my suggestion should not be taken to me that anybody should feel any obligation to rewrite bugfixes to work under AngularJS 1.2.
