As I am a bit out of touch, and the v4.8.x branch has not been updated
for a very long time...
Would it still have any use to bring out a 4.8.1?
I remember having fixed lots of bugs in the master branch the past year,
but I don't remember exactly which. I have been using the development
version all the time, and the new features in there have been working OK
for me. As a consequence, I have more confidence in the master branch,
than in the latest v4.8.x, and certainly in a patched v4.8.x where I
would cherry-pick bugfixes from master without truly remembering what I
have been doing.
So wouldn't it be better to forget about v4.8.x, and release the master
branch as v4.9.0?
