I also prefer B as it prefers updating where new development is preferred to occur.  Changes can then be back ported or not.
Hi,
B sounds good again. Pages being a mature technology has very little activity indeed, so there's very little change I think that any parallel development takes place now.
Kind regards,

Hi all,
Some of you may have noticed EL 5.0.1 has been released. I don't think 
this is going to require an immediate Pages release but I'd like to get 
everything prepared both in case that changes and so the EL update 
doesn't get forgotten.
The Pages version in the master branch has already been prepared for 
Pages 4.0 development. Shortly, I plan to do the following:
- Rename the Pages 3.1.0 branch (created at the same point Pages 3.1.0
   was tagged) to 3.1.x and ensure that it is prepared for Pages 3.1.1
   development (I think it should have been by the release process)
I then intend to update the EL dependency to EL 5.0.1 for both the Pages 
3.1.x and master branches. I'm not going to update the Pages master 
branch to depend on EL 6.0.0 since that would require staging an EL 
6.0.0 release and the EL project isn't ready for that.
Looking at the history, we don't appear to have done much concurrent 
development on multiple branches so are there views on how the community 
would prefer to apply the same fix to multiple branches? I think there 
are 2 main approaches:
A. Apply the fix to 5.0.x and then merge 5.0.x into master. The idea
    being any changes made to 5.0.x should normally also be made to
    master.
B. Apply the fix to master and then cherry-pick it for 5.0.x
I have used both approaches in the past. Personally, I find B slightly 
easier to get my head around but can work with either.
Thoughts?
Mark
