With the introduction of 8.5.x, we need to figure out where it fits in
our back-port strategy.
I see the following options:
A: 9.0.x -> 8.5.x -> 8.0.x -> 7.0.x -> 6.0.x
B: 9.0.x -> 8.5.x -> 7.0.x -> 6.0.x
9.0.x -> 8.0.x
C: 9.0.x -> 8.5.x -> 7.0.x -> 6.0.x
8.5.x -> 8.0.x
D: 9.0.x -> 8.0.x -> 7.0.x -> 6.0.x
9.0.x -> 8.5.x
E: Something else?
Given that we will be dropping 8.0.x in ~6 months, I don't think D makes
much sense.
For the same reason, I like A least of the remaining options because it
essentially means another change in ~ 6 months.
Of B & C I think C makes more sense because if there is a Servlet 3.1
specific fix then the fix can be made in 8.5.x and back-ported to 8.0.x.
With B, we couldn't easily back-port.
Thoughts?
