You don't have to if you don't want to, the pull request should remain open and we'll be able to merge it into where it needs to go by rebasing onto the appropriate branch. > Secondly, will you create a 4.0.x branch for backwards incompatible changes? No, probably not until we get a lot closer to releasing 4.0.0 and even then we may not create a 4.x branch or a 4.0.x branch. Beyond 3.0.0 our plan is to prevent backwards incompatible changes from being introduced as much as possible. Our strategy is to employ feature flags and other related approaches to disable code that is known to be incompatible with previous releases. So, the story here is that there should no longer be backwards incompatible changes. If a change set is backwards incompatible, then we're going to work to make it compatible in some way, likely by disabling the behavior changes at runtime. -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
