Roy was pointing out that there is an RM for a given release, but there is not a RM for a branch. The RM does not decide what goes into branch-2, that's happening on a patch by patch basis, and the RM decides what to release based on what branch they pick and what they merge to it. So far it has been working well. Kudos to Arun. Thanks, Eli
