I would say that depends on how long we expect the 21.5 pretest to take. If THAT takes a long time, let's go for a 21.4 pretest now, and release quickly if the pretest doesn't reveal anything major (compared to 21.3). > > > (2) Feature freeze on HEAD. > > (3) Merge HEAD into RC branch, and make it 21.4.50. > > I think making a new branch would be easier than merging.

I agree that we should leave the old RC branch as is (ending with 21.4) and create a new RC branch for 21.5 _asap_!!. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
