I'm not familiar with the other tooling, but I'm glad that we'll be using
it. Tools that are shared are usually better.

I wanted to check my understanding of the cherry picking approach. Is the
review idea for Z releases specifically to sort out feature commits from
bugfix commits to only include the bugfix commits? To contrast that against
the process for Y releases, where both features and bugfixes are included
and cherry picked. Is that understanding right? In terms of as automation
idea, would it be possible to Z streams only cherry-pick commits associated
with Issues (not Story, Task, or Refactor)?

Thanks for making the Pulp builds great!
