<br>
It is time again to reconsider branching out the 4.2 stable branch.<br>
<br>
So far we decided to *not* branch out, and we are taking tags for ovirt<br>
4.2 releases from master branch.<br>
<br>
This means we are merging safe and/or stabilization patches only in master.<br>
<br>
<br>
I think it is time to reconsider this decision and branch out for 4.2,<br>
because of two reasons:<br>
<br>
1. it sends a clearer signal that 4.2 is going in stabilization mode<br>
<br>
2. we have requests from virt team, which wants to start working on the<br>
next cycle features.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>This the only reason to branch out - "next cycle features" should be part of 4.2 as well?</div><div>Do other teams also plan to push new features to 4.2 that are not stable yet?</div><div>If not, I don't see any reason to branch out or backport "not stable" patches to 4.2 branch. We can keep it stable and avoid this branch-out unless we want to add new big feature that might cause regression in current stable 4.2 code.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
<br>
If we decide to branch out, I'd start the new branch on monday, February<br>
5 (1 week from now).<br>
<br>
<br>
The discussion is open, please share your acks/nacks for branching out,<br>
and for the branching date.<br>
<br>
<br>
I for myself I'm inclined to branch out, so if noone chimes in (!!) I'll<br>
execute the above plan.<br>
