I would suggest to mark them to backported for 7.0.3 (ideally when
7.0.2 will be out).

7.0.2 as soon as possible (@Markus: what about next week?)

I would suggest to avoid heavy backporting to relbr70 (let's stay here
with backports and minor changes). I would suggest to start preparing
trunk to be switched to relbr_71 instead. Something like:

* january 2016 (trunk -> relbr_71)
* march 2016 - release 7.1

Make sense to you?

Maybe you could modify your modules to detect if user is running 7.0
or 7.1? Martin
