I would expect that to be data only additions, I would not expect that to be adding new code.

It would be much better to not have to watch stable constantly like we currently do - we're seeing people report breakage often enough to be a concern as things are, we don't need to be trying to pile extra stuff in there because there's some keywords in a changelog or whatever. The testing coverage for drivers is weak, increasing the change rate puts more stress on that. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
