All, Why are we averse to cutting a release stabilization branch? In the past, we have cut release stabilization branches to ensure that the flow contributions was not interrupted. For committers, it is not a big deal since they can manage their branches in the cloudstack repo. However, for non-committers, this freeze could cause unnecessary frustration and discourage further contributions.
Thanks, -John ________________________________________ From: sebgoa <run...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2015 6:33 AM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: 4.6 On Jun 8, 2015, at 11:45 PM, Remi Bergsma <r...@remi.nl> wrote: > Hi, > > I can jump in and work with Rohit and Daan to make 4.6 happen. > > +1 for the QA on master.
