Discuss on list first. Oh, and I'd better say that refering to a discussion from more than a week ago is not valid.
what if no discussion is happening? should that be taken as acceptance for 7.7?
7.8 alpha 1 will the cut today, Monday 1500CEST. After that there is a fair chance 7.8/7.9 will be split off unless grubba and mast tells me they have a landslide of patches still to come.
the split off has not happened yet or did i miss it? with more questions coming up on what to commit i think having the split would be nice so that we can commit to 7.9 and then discuss whether something is good enough for 7.7/7.8 and backport.
doing the split doesn't even necesarily mean that 7.7 needs to move to 7.8, it could stay 7.7 until it's ready for release, but given pikes tradition that not every x.y.z is a release i guess it would also be fine if 7.8.0 is an alpha and the real release is 7.8.9 or some other value of z.
