I described what I thought should be the policy here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-10/msg00007.html to which no one objected. Bug#24478 is listed as blocking 25.2 release, so its fix should definitely go to the emacs-25 branch. But I understand you are still waiting for Glenn to tell whether the solution is correct? Not sure about bug#24698. Does it fit the criteria described in the above message? > Will there be a test period for Emacs 25.2? Yes, but I'd like it to be very short. If possible, I'd like to start the 25.2 pretest in a couple of weeks. > One policy could be, that only fixes shall be pushed to the emacs-25 > branch for bugs which have been marked as blocking bug#21966.

Not every bug that fits the criteria is listed as blocking, primarily because we simply failed to mark them as blocking. Thanks.
