How does this effect your up-streaming? When are we moving to 4.4?
This doesn't affect the upstreaming at all. As I mentioned on the call the other day, I have a tree that is based on 4.5-rc3, and this is what I will send upstream once we've had a chance to review it.
We can move to 4.4 as soon as you and the rest of the team are comfortable. As with any change, there is a small risk of regressions, so we want to do this at an appropriate time.
Cheers,
Joel
4.4 is lts (supported to 2018) and 4.3.x is not? I'm thinking we should have this discussion on our weekly interlock and come up with a migration plan (or not). Chris Austen
