Hi all, tomorrow marks exactly one month since Han-Wen's proposal to have a freeze of 3 or 4 weeks for stabilizing [1]. While not everybody agreed with that plan, I think it has worked pretty well in practice and there has been no big disturbance AFAICT. Instead many fixes landed, but in my opinion none of these required extensive changes for fundamental problems. I'm aware that there are more pending fixes, and I totally expect more issues to be discovered. It's certainly possible that these might need more elaborate fixes than those in the past month, but I don't see evidence for that.
That said, I believe it would be reasonable to create a stable branch and start picking fixes into that as needed. Before diving into the details, I'd first like to know if there's still disagreement on this starting point? If so, I'd love to hear how to move forward. Please comment!
