That's the process I've been following, so not sure what your point is David? The release branch didn't get cut last week because there were a number of JIRAs marked as blockers for 8.10 and we needed clarity about how to move forward from the committers involved with those tickets. Also, I don't see the point in requiring an extra backport even if trivial if we know some features are coming in soon. From where I sit, any code change that hits 8.x should be releasable immediately or it shouldn't be committed.
