The bug itself wasn't even related to WMS. The raster layer properties dialog just tried to access a radio button for a property that WMS layers don't have. Introduced by a fix related to the GDAL provider IIRC. That was quickly backported before the breakage of master was even noticed. I think the wrong scale stuff in the last "stable" release, was also introduced by a quick backport of a commit that broke master. So apparently we are backporting stuff too quick without proper review and testing. That said, all the talk about quality assurance stuff is nice, but I (still) don't think that we have enough resources to properly maintain a stable branch. And if that's the case trying to might even waste some of it and do more harm than good to the project. I also have the impression - I might be mistaken, that the people actually working on master, including me, therefore didn't participate much in the QA discussion.
