I have a hard time believing that we want to abandon bug fix support for Kilo especially given recent attempts to be more proactive about it [2] (which I applaud). I suspect that there has simply been a mis-communication and we need to get the story straight in the wiki pages which Ihar pointed out. > - StableBranch page though requires that we don’t merge non-critical > bug fixes there: "Only critical bugfixes and security patches are acceptable” Seems a little premature for Kilo.
