Sure, it's always a pleasure to work with Matthias. He and I have
spoken at length about this in the past and have very similar views
about risk vs timely fixes, so I think we could easily provide a
united/compatible viewpoint.

(and as I noted in one of the first emails -- the first task would be
to write up a qep detailing the policies and what's acceptable for
merging/backporting during a release's lifecycle)
