Two other things worth discussion IMO - in the original thread I think it was Jan suggested having merge windows, and only merging things outside of that that are bug fixes intended for the next release - keep cherry picking minimal. - in line with that, maybe the release branch could happen later in the process? Or at least kept in sync with master for longer? > I don't see capacity to develop 11.1 and 12 in parallel. > If we have any need for a 11.1 at all, surely bug fixes only off the release branch would be better?
