Hi all,

as per [1] I imply that all projects under stable-maint-core team  
supervision must abide the stable policy [2] which limits the types of  
backports for N-2 branches (now it’s stable/kilo) to "Only critical  
bugfixes and security patches”. With that, I remind all stable core members  
about the rule.

Since we are limited to ‘critical bugfixes’ only, and since there is no  
clear definition of what ‘critical’ means, I guess we should define it for  
ourselves.

In Neutron world, we usually use Critical importance for those bugs that  
break gate. High is used for those bugs that have high impact production  
wise. With that in mind, I suggest we define ‘critical’ bugfixes as  
Critical + High in LP. Comments on that?

(My understanding is that we can also advocate for the change in the global  
policy if we think the ‘critical only’ rule should be relaxed, but till  
then it makes sense to stick to what policy says.)
