I agree only bug fixes should go in the 1.11.1 branch. String/GUI changes
make sense to delay.
We haven't looked too closely at 1.11.1, it's just a handy place to punt a
bug to when you know it isn't suitable for 1.11.0. Also we didn't have a
1.12.0 milestone created until recently so some bugs may have been booted
to 1.11.1 so we don't lose track of them when they ought to have been
marked 1.12.0.
I wonder if we should switch to organizing bugs by series and make a rule
that nobody should mark a bug for a milestone until there is a patch in
hand or it is assigned to someone. Otherwise, just leave it in the series.
I think Launchpad doesn't have as good support for browsing bugs by series
but this would help with the issue we keep having of every milestone
carrying along a few dozen bugs that are unassigned and with every release
we just move them one milestone into the future.
Thoughts?
Also, +1 to maintaining a preview build throughout the development process.
We got a lot of bugs discovered by bleeding edge testers that way.
