In this case, I'd argue for accepting the change as it is a blocker to developing the security fix. ~Andrew ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

I'll let Stefano take care of the 4.6 part (if he deems it reasonable), but I'd like to point out that 4.5 is closed for non-security fixes (see lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2016-09/msg4.html). Jan --- Begin Message --- All, I am pleased to announce the release of Xen 4.5.5. This is available immediately from its git repository https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable-4.5 (tag RELEASE-4.5.5) or from the XenProject download page https://www.xenproject.org/downloads/xen-archives/xen-45-series/xen-455.html (where a list of changes can also be found). Note that this is the last XenProject coordinated release of the 4.5 stable series. The tree will be switched to security only maintenance mode after this release. We recommend all users of the 4.5 stable series to update to this last point release. Note regarding 4.5.4: An issue was found late in the release process, after the various trees were already tagged (in fact, one of those tags was wrong). We therefore decided to skip version 4.5.4.
