> Otherwise I think we're just creating work for ourselves, especially as
we'll want to bring everything bar breaking changes onto 52.0.0_maintenance for
the patch releases.
" especially as we'll want to bring everything" -- I don't believe we have
to do this. We could also consider only backporting things that the
contributors want to backport and/or we deem is important (e.g. bug fixes).
Otherwise we would just continue to develop on main as we have done in the past
> I would therefore propose we mark this as a draft, and then look to bring
it in once either the above criteria occur, or it is time for the breaking
release?
This is also a valid approach. One issue I see with this is that we will end
up with a thundering herd / PR merge / conflict storm that happens as soon as
we start merging the accumulated breaking API changes for the last few months.
