Thank you for the explanations! Really helpful.
I am trying to understand the mechanics.
This is also why I suggested that we can drop suspicious code from a release branch (i.e. we could branch 1.3.x now and then delete code on that branch without affecting master). Then the freeze might be over really quickly.
This option would mean all the items from the first list are reverted in v1.3?
in the most extreme scenario, yes. Please note that I don't consider everything on that list as a release blocker. Some things just looked odd and may only need a second look.
And then they, hopefully, all get fixed to the time of v1.4? (correct me if I am wrong)
Hopefully, yes. Not sure what to do if not, I wouldn't like to repeatedly clean up on release branches. Also, some of the items look like something we wouldn't even want on master, e.g. known broken things.
Then that means on the other end there is an ideal scenario where all the items from the first list are fixed (on master) and then v1.3 happens?
Then we would branch 1.3.x from master and v1.3-rc1 happens.
And also a scenario in between when some of the items are fixed, but not all of them?
Pretty much, yes, and I'd hope for this. Better to compromise than to wait forever ;)
Which of these scenarios has minimum time to freeze master, and which one takes second place? I am asking because I fully agree with you, it seems just as you said “a very desperate measure”... so I am worried this may create a drama :\
Given that nobody reacted with "let's do it", it seems very unlikely to me that we will exercise a freeze.
