I don't think this will happen.

And that, I don't agree. New releases aren't to fix bugs, bugs should be
fixed in stable too, otherwise you face new issues trying to get a

Not only that. Everyone is lagging a few release behind, and currently,
upstream OpenStack don't care backporting to older releases.
