Flavio, Saverio,

Agree, that review may be a good example of what could be done. More info below.

Saverio said - "with the old Stable Release thinking this patch would
not be accepted on old stable branches."
My response - "Those branches are still under stable policy. That has
not changed just because of an email thread or a discussion in Forum"

Saverio said - "Let's see if this gets accepted back to stable/newton"
My response - "The branch the review is against is still under stable
policy. So things that will or will not be backported will not change"

Saverio said - "Please note that a developers/operators that make the
effort of fixing this in master, should do also all the cherry-pickes
back. We dont have any automatic procudure for this."
My response - "How the cherry-picks are done for stable branches will
not change. This is a stable branch, so there is no automatic
procedure for backporting"

I really want folks to help with stable first, learn how things are
done and then propose changes to stable branch policies and help
execute them

If folks want to chase LTS, then we are outlining a procedure/process
that is a first step towards LTS eventually.

Thanks,
Dims
