I'm not sure how to handle the dychomoty between having different spec

we need a workflow that discourages this somehow.
I believe that moving release tag and changelog entry to annotated tags
solves this problem (or makes it insignificant).

It means you can just cleanly cherry pick a fix anywhere it is relevant
(most of the time) instead of fighting the changelog conflicts all the
time.
I don't understand the people actually maintaining different changelogs for
the releases. I just merge master into the release branches when I push an
update, and if that includes some changelog entries for Rawhide-only mass
rebuilds, so be it. Removing them is not worth breaking fast-forwardability
of the branches.


It depends how you maintain your packages. My guess is (and I am sorry
if I am mistaken) that you don't follow the

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Philosophy

I do.

If you followed this policy, then you would touch the stable branches
just rarely and therefore keeping them fast forwardable would be just
waste of time.

I touch stable branches for bugfix upgrades.
