[infinispan-dev] Infinispan 7.1 plan

[Sebastian Łaskawiec]

I think we can work on this one...

First of all - contributors need to know about this rule, perhaps 
updating [1] might be a good idea. Official announcement on mailing list 
might be also helpful (this email thread is already pretty long, so it 
might be missed by many folks).

Secondly - we need to stop integrating Pull Requests with new failures.
It's a bit harder when we have some existing failures, because there is 
always an excuse (this failure is not related, it's just an unstable 
test etc). But once we have clean build - it's a "binary" decision.
I think we might also add some descriptive comment to Pull Request when 
the build is unstable - something like "This Pull Request won't be 
integrated, because it's unstable. Fix it first.".
