Hi Again,

As it turns out we're going to have giant point releases after all. In a nutshell there is going to be one or two point release for giant, until Hammer is out. The backporting activity for giant will be lower than for firefly or hammer, because the idea is to focus on backporting every other release (i.e. dumpling, firefly, hammer, etc. ). 

My initial request is therefore resumed and the ticket open again.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the confusion :-)

To get a global view of what the next giant point release will be, the description also includes the commits that have already been merged in the giant branch. The list of pull requests that are candidate for inclusion in the giant release but have not been included in the integration branch are also listed: maybe one of them could contribute to resolve a problem found during the tests. And finally all redmine issues that have been marked to be backported to giant but do not yet have a candidate pull request are listed: this is the backport backlog so to speak ;-)
