Particularly proud of Ivan's work on this release. It looks so much better and is more comprehensive in its scope. Focused checkout alone is likely to be a reason for sites to adopt it even just for the checkout routes if nothing else.

I expect measured, intelligent application of AI to become a baseline expectation of Drupal service providers and contributors, and I'm curious to know what tools are producing the best results, particularly with respect to best practices adherence.

Short version: we'll use a single branch per major version, primarily tagging minor releases, and if we need to backport a critical fix, we'll create minor branches on demand. This will make patch versions more semantically correct (i.e., a release for an individual patch), letting site builders constrain updates within a minor version branch to accept security updates via patch versions without all of the other features or potential interface changes that come with a new minor version.
