Hey team,

Great progress, glad to see that we are close to the 4.1.0 release.

I've noticed that people were talking about the stability of branch-4.1 and
the potential of a 4.1.1 release so I was wondering what is the plan with
respect to subsequent releases. Are we planning to keep the branch-4.1 open
to improvements and cherry-picks after the release of Hive 4.1.0? I am not
sure if we have sufficient resources (both machine and human) to properly
maintain multiple branches.

Best,
Stamatis
