Bug Fixes
---------
Bug fixes are typically added to the main branch, and backported to the
x-y-stable branch of the latest release series if there is sufficient need. When
enough bugs fixes have been added to an x-y-stable branch, a new patch release
is built from it. For example, a theoretical 1.2.2 patch release would be built
from the 1-2-stable branch.

In special situations, where someone from the Core Team agrees to support more series,
they are included in the list of supported series.
