we can consider branching whenever theres a consensus to do so
People are always quick in saying what they want in / done before
releases/branching. But its rare that people later reply and say that an issue
was resolved.
This makes monitoring for what blockers remain painfull
i think for the next release we should automate this
because trac has a "Blocking" field and that could be set to 6.1
for example and then one can just query trac for all open tickets
that are blocking "6.1"
Which would make it MUCH easier to know what is blocking it and would
make it easier to know when all blockers are gone
ATM one has to go over multiple threads and then figure out what people
asked for to be done first and then find out if the things are still
not done.


thx
