Hi,

our "experimental" Git branch is generally used to merge stuff that is
not quite ready for a proper pull request, but could use some testing.
Best case, this stuff will make it into the next major Tails release.
Our "devel" Git branch is generally used to prepare the next major
release. Our next major release is 1.1 (Wheezy).

So, I propose we merge feature/wheezy into the devel and experimental
branches, and use these branches (as usual) to prepare the next major
release. Then, feature/wheezy can simply be ignored from now on.

Also, until now I've been freely pushing stuff to feature/wheezy,
without going through our usual review'n'merge process. I think it's
great time to stop that. So, I propose that when working on 1.1, we
now use feature branches forked off the (Wheezy-based) devel branch,
and go through the usual review and merge process.

Does this all make sense for you?

I've got two additional questions, mainly for anonym (with his RM
hat):

  * do you think you can take care, in a timely manner, of the many
    review'n'merge requests that will be sent if we go this way?


  * could you please review the current devel..feature/wheezy delta,
    as a starting point? ETA?


Cheers,
