And we would cross the fingers and hope all will be well? Who would do
the testing of this code in slightly different code base? I just
reverted a patch from 1.8 which does not even compile. It worked fine
in master and 1.9 though. This kind of script would do exactly this
kind of backporting. Without a human factor involved I have a really
bad feeling about this.

If you want to cover such things with machine power we would
definitely need more people in the automated build and QA as well as
the release team. I'm reaching the limits of what I can do wrt this.
With 1.10 release handling, 1.9 and 1.8 maintenance, jenkins
maintenance I was to invest more time in this than I was. Other tasks
are already falling behind which is bad. And while I have a list of
things I would like to see I just see no time for doing it. I focus on
maintenance right now to at least make sure things are not falling
apart. :)

The last paragraph was not really related to your question but it felt
worth like putting it here.
