Hi all,

i start this vote because i want to get an idea what other developers
think about this. Here are the possible solutions:

1) Commit fixes and new "minor" features to 2.3 branch:


+1.

My point is: we need fixes plus minor features applied to code branch that we can consider stable and safe, being used by most (I suppose) people (the ones that have started to use 2.3.0). So let's try to do it, with the goal of cutting a release quite soon, and limiting the new minor features that we can consider really "minor". When we cut it we vote on changing the name to 2.4.0 if there are *not only* fixes (and I would vote +1 to such name change). In other words, let's keep only one branch other than trunk and let's work on both. And the current 2.3 branch is already "next-minor" (we may already rename it for clarity). The idea is that whatever goes into the 2.3/2.4/next-minor branch is aimed to maximum stability and compatibility, and if something is not so safe it *must* be optional and documented as such.

Moreover, I think that we are responsible enough to evaluate (the unfortunately few of us that will do them) if a minor feature is really low risk and could go into this branch, so I think that lazy consensus is much better than voting every time. And for such minor stuff a road map is bureaucracy. Next minor is

Finally, let's avoid religion wars around names :-) , and let's avoid becoming like the Italian Parliament these days ;-) .

2) Commit only bugfixes to 2.3 branch:

So please cast your votes and tell me what you prefer.
