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.
