We definitely : should not be making install policy changes in 2.2.x. Thank you for coming up with the phrase that I didn't in my earlier message. This is defintely a policy change and shouldn't be made to 2.x. 3.x also is in "legacy" mode now, so policy changes shouldn't be made there either, just bug fixes. 4.x it is dicy, but is active enough that we might want to consider it. A banch goes into legacy mode when we as a project deside to never make another release on that branch. 3.5.1 is the last 3.x release, and 2.2.8 is the last 2.2.x release. Likewise, new features shouldn't go into these. We shouldn't put a new compiler version, openssh, etc in these branches. We should avoid making policy changes in active branches unless there's a compelling reason. I'm not sure that this is a compelling reason, but I'm not sure that it isn't either.
