1) no one should go off closing 4.6 issues just because the bug has been fixed in 4.7 ;)
2) we should all be clear what the policy really is. i think it can be summarized as:
- new features only happen in a development release, no matter what.
- bugs are fixed in all branches where they can be reasonably fixed, if someone does the work to create and test the patches and the core committers agree it's worth the trouble.
- bugs should be fixed in a way that does not require database changes. Only for security issues we allow minimal changes in the database.
Or am I wrong?
