Sometime ago someone made the case that we should drop the Debug branch in the git storage for the libraries. I found the case pretty convincing and endorsed the change. However, it seems that the idea was not well received and the idea was not adopted. I hope my endorsement wasn't responsable for it's being dismissed. Now it seems that the idea HAS been adopted. I've found in both the libraries I maintain, some "maintainers" check into the master branch directly from a feature branch used for debugging. This was kind of problematic as the debug and master branch were no longer easily understood by doing a diff. Worse, other "maintainers" check into the debug branch in the traditional way leaving the merge to master as a separate operation in the traditional manner. My custom has been to merger to master just before the next release. I only dip into maintenance occasionally, so I don't remember all the details and I have to spend a lot of time looking at who did what. So, I'm announcing that I am unilaterally declaring soon I will be leaving the debug branch aside and not use it in the future. Those who have the authority to directly make changes in these libraries (as opposed do making a merge request) should know that any pushes to the debug branch will be lost. Robert Ramey
