On Hibernate ORM we're currently having "master" branch essentially being a maintenance branch, aka master today is what's planned to be version 5.3.2.Final in some days, 5.3.3 later, etc..
This is quite unusual, and it begs some extra attention: normally we'd start a new minor in master, so that PRs of any kind could be welcome in master, while specific, cherry-picked fixes are backported to the last maintained minors. This is not the case now and until we move on to a new minor or major we'll need to be particularly careful about what is allowed to be merged. I'm not pointing fingers to any specific commit, my concern is just raised by the high volume of changes being merged. They all look great individually but changes are not good at this point :) Not sure what to suggest to people wanting to contribute new features today; maybe hold as we assume the 6.0 work will be merged in master soon? Will be hard to say no to many reasonable requests though. Steve, do you think that the 6.0 merge could happen soon enough to not need any process changes in how we deal with master?
