Re: Possible amendment to the cherry-picking rules

Thanks for your quick response, Patrick! Would you agree, then, to change the rule to allow the explanation of "why" to be done outside of the commit messages themselves? My concern is that by intentionally not including the explanation in the commit message, we are effectively withholding the explanation from future users of the git history. To put it another way, folks who are unfortunate enough to be involved in the kind of forensic examination I described will not benefit from explanations that are offered up in a PR or tracker issue.
