Aurélien Pupier commented on JBIDE-24789:
-----------------------------------------

we don't have the infrastructure for topic branch for now.
we work on doc along the sprints.
this is really not convenient to have this long code freeze, it is slowing us down.
Anyway, it has not been put in our priority list to work on that, so if it's not on yours I guess it will never be done.

> Currently, for each milestone, final release, the master branch is frozen for several days which is decreasing productivity and increase risk at the end of code freeze (as everybody wants to merge a lot of PRs at the same time)
> it would be nice to find a way to avoid the freeze on the master branch.
> Proposal:
> - create a branch for each milestone/release:
> -- it allows to continue working on master
> -- it allows to provide blocker/critical fix if needed on the branch
