[Bf-committers] Blender developer meeting notes - 2021.01.11

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Jeroen,

>  I would propose to clean up the task list and perform the backports this
week.

Compared to the previous corrective releases I don't find the number of
commits (33) absurd. For comparison:

* 2.90.1 had 39 commits [1]
* 2.83.1 had 33 commits [2]
* 2.82a had 25 commits [3]
* 2.81 had 13 commits [4]
* 2.79a had 202! commits [5]

All the commits for 2.91.1 were suggested by developers actively involved
in the project. So I would rather we try to trust their judgment and apply
them all. That said it is not hard to cherry-pick the most pressing fixes
(crashes and regressions) while leaving some good-to-have behind (transform
tools and uv pin drawing). But I don't see the ultimate benefit of doing
that, all considered.
