So .... I guess the question is: With a release of boost every 3 months, do we need point releases (except in the case of a big mistake)? To put a very fine point on it, is there a reason to do a 1.35.1 release as well as a 1.36?
I echo this sentiment because I see how hard the release team have to work for each release. Very much appreciated. Perhaps an alternate strategy for interim fixes that explicitly creates just a set of patches or updates could be formalised (or have I just missed it)? I'm never sure what branch I need to retrieve to solve this. Perhaps always having one labelled '1_35_latest_bugfix' is sufficient to get people started. Thanks team, looking forward to a smooth 1.36
