Simon, sugar-presence-service is not present in Glucose (0.96), AFAICT, and therefore branching it will not be needed, I would like to request that you branch sugar-toolkit and sugar-base creating ""sucrose-0.96" branches for them. The reasons for this are as follows: a) In spite of the fact that developer commits to these branches are not anticipated due to their EOL status during the 0.97 > 0.98 release cycle, it should be recognized that L10n commits to the 0.96 versions of these modules will continue for some time, possibly even with new languages being added as 0.96 is going to have a continuing "in-service" lifetime of several years, depending on decisions made by deployments. b) Should any backports of features ever be considered to these particular elements of the "sucrose-0.96" series, it would be best if there was an unambiguously named branch (as opposed to an un-versioned "master" to which these commits could be made (however unlikely it is that this will occur). c) Creating named "sucrose-0.96" branches of these modules will allow me to create the newly branched Glucose 0.96 project in Pootle with unambiguous commit links (needed at the time of set-up). I appreciate your consideration of this request.
