With 3.0.0 vote to be over soon, tick-tock is officially starting, and we are creating a new branch for cassandra-3.1 release.
New merge order: cassandra-2.2 -> cassandra-3.0 -> cassandra-3.1 -> trunk - cassandra-3.0 branch is going to continue representing the 3.0.x series of releases (3.0 bugfixes only, as no new feature are supposed to go into 3.0.x release series) - cassandra-3.1 branch will contain 3.0 bugfixes *only* - trunk represents the upcoming cassandra-3.2 release (fixes from 3.1 and new features) -- AY
