Is there going to be a policy regarding what to backport to
3.5? My understanding was that once the 3.5-RELEASE tag was laid down all
that would go back would be bug/security fixes. My personal opinion is
that if we backport too much we reduce the users' motivation to move to
4.x, not to mention the maintenance problems as a discouragement to
committers who do feature development.
