Some fixes apply easily on top of other ones which may not be related, the question is on those "unrelated" patches. Is it acceptable to backport them, and if yes at what point is it acceptable depending on the nature of the patch: 1. Re-work: just a refactor of some structure, clean-up, ... 2. Behavior: it change the behavior of a part of the code, ... 3. Performances: it impacts performances (positively or negatively). 4. None, the patch must apply by itself. 5. ... What is the expectation for this branch? Thanks, -- Nélio Laranjeiro 6WIND
