Hi all,

Back in November, there was a discussion [1] on the mailing list around 
release:independent projects, which was wrapped up by Thierry in [2]. However, 
I have a couple lingering questions that have come up.

In networking-infoblox, we have a 1.0.0 version of our driver that we released 
a few months ago, and it is maintained in a the stable/liberty branch. We just 
released 2.0.0 out of master, but 2.0.0 is compatible with Liberty and Mitaka. 
So, from a branching perspective, is it permissible to push all the 2.0.0 
changes into stable/liberty? Those would be largely functional changes, not 
simple bug fixes. If not, should we even *have* a stable/liberty branch? 

The primary reason this is important is to ensure that users and distributors 
pull the correct version of the driver. The 1.0.0 version is pretty limited and 
we definitely want the 2.0.0 to be the one packaged with Liberty distributions. 
So, ideally we would be able to push all the 2.0.0 code into stable/liberty 
since it is completely compatible - that would make it simple for distributors 
to get the right driver.

John
