Thanks. No, I can't. That was the recollections of me and Jordan when we set things up. Jordan approves the extremely critical fixes, while Kris Kennaway does the Security ones (or members of the seccurity team). Fixes have to be in the Oh My God league, however. I've seen a total of 1 of them that was also security related since we started doing this. Ordinary fixes don't go into that branch. Its primary purpose is for security related fixes. While there was some talk of calling it -SECURITY, we'll continue to call it 4.4-RELEASE and add -pN, like we did for 4.3. Sure, other methods may be better, but they a) likely aren't better enough and b) would be a huge bikeshed (again) if we opened the floor up for themm.
