Subject: Preparing Ambari X.Y.Z branch

Hi developers and PMCs,

I am proposing cutting the branch for Ambari X.Y.Z on __________  as per the outlined tasks in the Ambari Feature + Roadmap page (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30755705).
After making the branch, we (i.e., development community) should only accept blocker or critical bug fixes into the branch and harden it until it meets a high enough quality bar. 
If you have a bug fix, it should first be committed to trunk, and after ensuring that it does not break any tests (including smoke tests), then it should be integrated to the Ambari X.Y.Z branch.
If you have any doubts whether a fix should be committed into the X.Y.Z branch, please email me for input at ____________
Stay tuned for updates on the release process.


Thanks
