Github user srowen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8499#issuecomment-135959266 Regarding when to push to 1.5.x, my $0.02: in theory if a change is suitable for 1.5.1 it's suitable for 1.5.0, or if it's too risky for 1.5.0, it's probably too risky for 1.5.1. In practice I appreciate there's an extra level of caution between RCs, but implementing that does in practice mean either branching the branch so things can go into 1.5.1 that don't go into 1.5.0, or, just holding back a couple days. The RC process is still taking weeks in general, so the holding-off approach is not that tenable.
