• I suppose that we will have situations where the same bug fix implementation cannot be applied between 1.0.y and 1.x.y because there can be API changes. So the PRs have to be adjusted accordingly?

Good question. I have left a question in the text, but this might not need to be explained in the PIG. Any idea @adonath ?

• I do not know if we are sufficiently well-planned yet to propose deprecation warnings. Maybe we can try putting it, but not make it necessary by adding in the PIG?

After the co-working week close out meeting we decided to include them.

This is now ready for review. Please comment! @adonath @AtreyeeS @QRemy @bkhelifi @fabiopintore @LauraOlivera @cosimoNigro and all.

Hi My 2 cents. I have read the PIG and can´t see any obvious flaw or case when this should not work, but I have little experience in managing large packages on long time scales. It looks more difficult to handle than before, for the developers, but better for users.
