I haven’t been following the progress of the feature branch, but I would think the requirements for merging it into master would be the same as any other merge.
A subset of those requirements being: Is the code to be merged in releasable quality? Is it disabled by a feature flag by default if not? Do all the tests pass? Has there been review and +1 by two committer? If the code in the feature branch meets all of the merging criteria of the project then I see no reason to keep it in a feature branch for ever. -Jeremiah > On Jan 16, 2023, at 3:21 AM, Benedict <bened...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a lovely holiday period. > > Those who have been following along will have seen a steady drip of progress > into the cep-15-accord feature branch over the past year.
