To be clear, yes, the intent was to ensure that all patches from trunk got into 2.4 before we re-merge. My expectation is that the event optimizations will eventually find their way into 2.4.x (and not be part of 2.6.x) and so getting them back into trunk allows people to work them. Except for main branches, most side-branches just don't get worked. So my plan is: 1. We push all trunk event improvements into 2.4.x 2. We release 2.4.3 3. We re-merge the event optims back to trunk.
