former PTL. In that time he's done hundreds of backports:<br>

(Only two of which we ended up deciding not to merge, the last of which <br>
was in 2016.)<br>

<br>
Rabi also maintains a downstream distribution of Heat, so he is fully <br>
aware of the pain that backporting inappropriate changes can cause. He <br>
is well aware of the stable branch guidelines and is, if anything, more <br>
conservative than I am in applying them. I'm 100% confident he will not <br>
be approving any feature backports.<br>
<br>
I'll be spending some extended time away from a keyboard in the near <br>
future, so it's important that we increase the bus factor (from 1) of <br>
heat-stable-maint team members.<br>
