Dear developers, The last LTR is already more than 2 months old, in this time 138 commits have been pushed to release-2_8. It is great to see how actively this LTR is being maintained and bugfixes being backported.
Unfortunately it seems impossible that we have an unintentional 2 weeks timeframe without anything being backported. As with this amount of fixes ready to be shipped I think it would be a pitty not doing it. I think it would be great to branch a release-candidate-2_8_3 (no binaries released, just to backport possible issues identified on the release-2_8 binaries, related to pre-rc-commits). This way people can happily continue to backport stuff. Until this happens (and mainly for the situation where it does not happen) *I would like to ask all committers to stop backporting to the release-2_8 branch* as of tomorrow, July 14, 2015 (so you have still today to push the urgent fixes you never got round to merge). This way we'll have a stable 2.8.3 in the beginning of August. Thank you very much, Matthias
