Here are some guidelines: If you have questions about any of this, or if you have a bug to fix that is only present in one of the stable branches, ask for advice in ``#openstack-cinder`` on IRC. + +Backport CI Testing +------------------- + +Like all code changes, backports should undergo continuous integration +testing.
