correct, branch-1.2 was the stable release line prior to 1.4 becoming it in August. at the time I said I'd keep making monthly 1.2.z releases for ~6 months: https://s.apache.org/EYkB I wanted to give folks who heed our "this is the stable line" advice a cushion for planning migration once we

We could do that. Or we could simply renumber branch-1 to 1.6.x at that time, e.g. 1.5.whatever-SNAPSHOT -> 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT. Every release has a tag in rel/. It is possible at any time to check out from a release tag and make a branch for an additional patch release for an old minor line. If we

Yeah, for branch-1 it is no longer a development branch. Every change is going to be maintenance related. No, I don't expect 1.5 to be the last minor release line for 1.x. Maybe? Maybe not. In theory we could treat branch-2 the same. Master is the only development branch. That is not my proposal,

So the idea is that, if we have a newer major release line, we can release the previous major releases directly from the 'developing' branch? I think for branch-1 it is fine, as we are not likely to backport any big new feature to 1.x any more. And does this mean that 1.5 is the last minor

yes please this would be great! I have a DISCUSS thread I've been drafting about doing the same thing for branch-2 releases. I think in general we need to get back in the habit of only making maintenance releases when someone steps forward with a specific need. I plan to keep making branch-1.2

Please be advised I plan to RM the next minor release from branch-1, 1.5.0, in January of 2019. Once this is done we can continue making maintenance releases from branch-1.4 as needed but expect that not to be necessary after a couple of months (or perhaps even immediately). I see no need to make

We haven't had a release from branch-1.3 for a long time and do not appear to have an active RM for it. Unless a RM for 1.3 steps forward and promises to make a release in the very near future, I propose we make one more release of 1.3, from the head of branch-1.3, and then retire the branch. If
