We've committed to it, but to be honest, I stopped doing the backports when I heard there wasn't going to be a 2.9.1 release, because if there's not going to be a release of 2.9.1, there's no reason to keep supporting 2.9.x. It doesn't work with plugman the same way 3.x does. > We never discussed whether we would *only* be fixing things that were > reported on the 2.9 branch, or whether we were going to test the issues > that were reported on 3.x and backport the fixes.

So, are we going to do a 2.9.1? Should I be going through all the plugins and making sure that everything is backported?
