Does anyone have any proposals on how we should move forward given the issues holding us back? Is it time that we move to using more branches as a project? One possible route would be to branch off 0.49 and allow open work to resume on trunk. Another is to create a "staging" branch that accepted merge proposals can all land in to get further testing. Note: After this experience, if things have known regressions, I feel strongly that they should not be merged into an actual "to be released" branch until those issue are resolved.
If we have a release schedule and we've reached a feature freeze, we should have branched into a release branch at that point. Trunk shouldn't ever be blocked with feature freezes, but instead making sure bugs get fixed in both trunk and release branches is a chore for us developers.
I'm open to suggestions. Development shouldn't stagnate, but at this point things aren't looking good with a feature freeze in place and no signs of our blockers getting taken care of.
Do you have a launchpad bug search tag for these? Maybe I can help.
