I was in the habit of merging bug fixes back into 2.9.x a while ago, but have also stopped doing that.
If we want 2.9.x to be bug fixes only, then I think it makes sense to spend some time and cherry-pick changes. If we want 2.9.x to be new features + bug fixes, then we could just work on adding pre-bundling logic so that "bin/create" causes plugins to be already installed. We want pre-bundling logic anyways for things like Android's "App" plugin. I suspect what we want is the bug fixes, but that does leave iOS7 support out of 2.9.x, which makes it somewhat useless. So maybe we should just work on pre-bundling?
