koji_buildaccept builds for v8.3 and from bothmasterand8.3Preparation for switch
masterto be "next" aka v9To my understanding, the motivation of change is part of a bigger plan, to prepare a smooth transition to enable bleeding edge development on master branch. Of course maintenance will remain in v8.x branches.
Once the master branch needs to be stabilized then a new 9.0 branch can be open (this mean declared in PROTECTED_TARGETS, and also move the
masterbranch from8.3target to9.0for a future cycle)Meanwhile the development on master is still open and might become the base for the next cycle (TBD 9.1 or 10).
Note that
8.3git branches are not created yet in repos, it would make sense to open them soon or later, ideally when master branches need to receive feature from next release. Coincidentaly thoses 8.3 branches will be used for maintenance of the LTS release and then developers/RE might consider back-porting fixes from master to 8.3.What is unclear to me in the plan is when the new koji target/tag v9 will be defined, or if an
unstabletarget will be added before, probably this will have to be coordinated with CI.
