I dont like the idea of release manager cherry-picking/backporting the fixes to the release branches.
As a community we are supporting past two releases. ie) at this point we have to support 4.3 and 4.4 As a developer/contributor, if I feel a bug is relevant for 4.3 I should be committing it to all the 4.3+ releases. Otherwise it would be a nightmare for people trying to upgrade later. If and when a release is required, we should release from that branch. ~Rajani On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 6:13 PM, Rohit Yadav <bhais...@apache.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 5:30 PM, Daan Hoogland <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> ok, so that would go in 442to443? >> > > Yes, but do you plan to do a 4.4.3?
