Hi All, I requested to review my patch in the last Weekly Nova team meeting.[1] In this meeting, Mr. Dan Smith said following things about my patch. * This patch is too large to merge in rc2.[2] * Fix after Newton and backport to newton and mitaka.[3] In my understanding, we can backport only critical bugfixes and security patches in Phase II.[4] And, stable/mitaka move to Phase II after newton. What is definition of critical bugfixes? And, can I backport my patch to mitaka after newton?
