But how we describe 9.0 release? Most people will ask two questiones: 1.When(or commit id) the release branch out from master 2.Which patch we cherry-pick from master after the branch is created and then the huge cherry-pick list just confuse the people why so many minor change enter into the release branch. > The main concern that I have is that there has been no testing or > qualification of the release.
