Hi,

just to bring out another potential policy change to the full bright light:
There was discussion that in order to tidy up commit log, I should no
longer merge up branches. As I don't have the time to do manually what
currently git does for me, this means I will stop providing fixes for
versions other than the currently supported one (8.4.2 at the moment).

When I discussed this in Adiscon internally, we saw quite some advantage
for us as well: if the unsupported versions are really unsupported, people
hopefully would be more likely to update to the current versions. Also, it
means a bit of less work for me, which frees up a little bit of resources.

I honestly do not know how many folks at all really depend on e.g.
v7-stable. My impression is that many, if not most, distros tend to base on
a then-current version and apply patches to this baseline.

So my question is: do we need to keep fixing the old stuff ... or can we
really abandon that?

Feedback is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rainer
