I've said this already but that's a process problem. If we made a release branch there would be nothing stopping anyone from continuing to merge into the mainline while a release is tidied up. This is an artificial "crisis" created through process. It reminds me of the US's asinine debt ceiling and the fiscal cliff [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_fiscal_cliff * Also, "your pet bug" implies that it's of no importance, and dismisses the reasons it matters at all with a turn of phrase. I'm not a perfect communicator either but please, spare me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
