@busbey, just a slight clarification to the plan you describe in the thread on the user@ list: Since we'd actually be releasing the latest from 1.5 development branch, there won't be any extra dangling unreleased commits to tag like we did for "1.4-development-closed", so there won't be anything t

1.5 has already started to suffer in terms of landing every bug-fix there. I don't think it's intentional (I know I have done it though), but it's kind of a sign that the devs have already mentally move beyond 1.5. I think JIRA is a clear sign that users aren't heavily using 1.5 (I can't think

The rate is already slow, but I understand your point. And, yes, you are correct, it would likely affect how far back developers finding bugs in newer versions look to determine the oldest affected version. In my view, that's a good thing, because it means less wasted effort if nobody is using tho

that change to development procedure will definitely impact them. it'll mean folks no longer look for their bugs to impact the 1.5 branch to start (unless things are critical). that basically guarantees that the rate of 1.5 releases will slow, which impacts ops planning for those on the 1.5 line.

Feel free to include user@ sooner, if you wish. The reason I hadn't already was because my suggested route would only be a shift in development procedures, and wouldn't really change things from a user perspective. Alternatives to what I suggest may affect them more strongly. We definitely should C

How do we want to EOL 1.5? Personally, I was thinking (soon after 1.7.0 is released): * Release and tag 1.5.3 * Remove 1.5 branch to focus active development on newer versions * Be willing to branch from the 1.5.3 tag to rapidly release a 1.5.4 in response to critical bugs My biggest concerns are
