thanks, very important indeed. I assumed we decide for 1. In fact, experience showed that it is preferable to be more conservative, and only include fixes with very low chances of regressions. I don't see a way to decide other than relying on the developer's assessment. The only (costly) improvement I'd see is having another independent core dev to check any bugfix before accepting it.
