This is not a joke. It is required otherwise the 2019.01 release notes cannot be backported smoothly on 2019.01-branch...

You seem surprised. ;-)

Can't properly review right now, since I'm on a train and later will be unavailable until around midnight. @emmanuelsearch @jia200x can one of you review maybe?

[jia200x]

Commit matches. All OK

ACK

[aabadie]

I didn't even realize that this was about 2018.10.1 so bad was my capability to review.

Honestly, now that I know that this was about 2018.10.1-branch I don't understand either. 2018.10.1-branch and 2019.01-branch should be independent from each other. What happened?

[aabadie]

What happened?

The release notes were conflicting !

[miri64]

But how? I mean this branch has nothing to do with 2019.01 so how did the backport help?

[miri64]

Ahhh... this PR is not against the 2018.10.1-branch but backports the 2018.10.1 release notes to the 2019.01-branch. This makes sense, since 2018.10.1 was released after the feature freeze of 2019.01!
