The manual does an okay job of explaining the rules for each of the three development branches, but really doesn't give any intuition as to why there are three (why not four? or two?) or how we got where we are today. This commit attempts to fix that, by explaining that there is one branch that allows mass-rebuild commits, and it has a fast-building branch both upstream and downstream of it (from the perspective of automated merges). I have also removed the term "stabilization" from the arc labels. This vague term is not defined anywhere, and does communicate any useful information without a longer explanation. Therefore it is not appropriate for use in a diagram. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io> |
