Hi all,

as per [1] I imply that all projects under stable-maint-core team supervision must abide the stable policy [2] which limits the types of backports for N-2 branches (now it’s stable/kilo) to "Only critical bugfixes and security patches”. With that, I remind all stable core members about the rule.

Since we are limited to ‘critical bugfixes’ only, and since there is no clear definition of what ‘critical’ means, I guess we should define it for ourselves.

In Neutron world, we usually use Critical importance for those bugs that break gate. High is used for those bugs that have high impact production wise. With that in mind, I suggest we define ‘critical’ bugfixes as Critical + High in LP. Comments on that?

(My understanding is that we can also advocate for the change in the global policy if we think the ‘critical only’ rule should be relaxed, but till then it makes sense to stick to what policy says.)
