This dependency is currently needed to create custom Mistral actions. It was originally not the best architecture and one of the reasons to create 'mistral-lib' was in getting rid of dependency on ‘mistral’ by moving all that’s needed for creating actions into a lib (plus something else). The thing is that the transition is not over and APIs that we put into ‘mistral-lib’ are still experimental. The plan is to complete this initiative, including docs and needed refactoring, till the end of Pike.

What possible negative consequences may we have if we switch release model to "cycle-with-intermediary”? Practically, all our releases, even those made after milestones, are considered stable and I don’t see issues if we’ll be producing full releases every time. Btw, how does stable branch maintenance work in this case? I guess it should be the same, one stable branch per cycle. I’d appreciate if you could clarify this.
