Patch release due diligence
Before accepting a request to backport a bug fix to more than one previous release we need to consider:
- How many customers are affected by the bug? Consider against the number who will be affected by a new release.
- Is it just one issue or are there several for patching?
- Does the issue have a workaround that can be used?
- How much time is it going to take up? What else could we be doing with that time?
