Hi everyone, Recently with the increased rate of GHC releases we have had to handle more concurrent stable branches. In particular, currently we have GHC-8.8.4 and GHC-8.10.2 releases both in flight. It has become clear that our current scheme for tracking backports, the ~"baackport needed" GitLab label, doesn't accomodate multiple concurrent stable branches particularly well. Consequently, I have created a new set of labels which are specific to each release series. For instance, ~"backport needed:8.10" means that the MR needs to be backported to the ghc-8.10 branch. The old ~"backport needed" label has been removed. Please do use these new labels on merge requests to indicate that backporting is needed. Cheers, - Ben
