Hi, Sergii thanks for the question. It's not first time that this topic is raised and from first view it could seem that branching would help to that sort of issues.
Although it's not the case. Tripleo-quickstart(-extras) is part of CI code, as well as tripleo-ci repo which have never been branched. The reason for that is relative small impact on CI code from product branching. Think about backport almost *every* patch to oooq and extras to all supported branches, down to newton at least. This will be a really *huge* price and non reasonable work. Just think about active maintenance of 3-4 versions of CI code in each of 3 repositories. It will take all time of CI team with almost zero value of this work. What regards patch you listed, we would have backport this change to *every* branch, and it wouldn't really help to avoid the issue. The source of problem is not branchless repo here. Regarding catching such issues and Bogdans point, that's right we added a few jobs to catch such issues in the future and prevent breakages, and a few running jobs is reasonable price to keep configuration working in all branches. Comparing to maintenance nightmare with branches of CI code, it's really a *zero* price.
