to me the reall delta between cycle-with-intermediary and independent is just that 1 there will be at least one release per upstream cycle and 2 there will be a stable barnch created from the final release of the cycle that may recive backport in the future if as a team we decied the backport is warented.

Another difference implied there is that we will increase the versions of cycle-with-intermediary dependencies in the otherwise frozen upper-constraints.txt lists in stable branches of the openstack/requirements project. A point release from a "stable" branch of an independent release project isn't afforded this exception, and for good reason (because it's not required to follow the more stringent releasing and branching processes we expect of cycle-based deliverables). -- Jeremy Stanley
