[ovirt-devel] oVirt 3.6.1 branch has been created

[Martin Sivak]

It is not about the cherry-pick button.

It is about CI being very slow and the need to execute the jobs again
and again every time something else is merged first because we have to
constantly rebase to be able to submit. This whole thing accumulates
into such mess that we missed couple of verified 3.6.0 patches just
because they could not be merged on time.

We already have that on master (where the slow CI was disabled for
this reason) and on the 3.6 branch. Adding a third branch with checks
like that means it is almost a miracle if a patch makes it on time.
