IMHO Have to stay optional, making this mandatory being a terrible headache.
I am going to agree in that it seems to go against what a large number
of packagers do currently to try and deal with the number of branches
and packages they try to keep up with. I say this from breaking their
workflow with EPEL-8 and getting an earful or two.
The workflow they follow is:
0. Go to first package in list
A. Make a change in master
B. Push that change
C. fedpkg switch-branch <first on N branches>
D. some variant of 'git merge master', 'git checkout master (some
flags I forget)', etc
E. fedpkg push
F. fedpkg build
G. fedpkg update
H. Iterate branch and GOTO C.
I. Iterate package and GOTO 0.
They might be doing that for FN-1, FN, FN+1, rawhide, and possibly
EPEL-6,7,8 so 7 branches. They can't do it with 8 because we added a
file which causes conflicts and they don't want to deal with pull
requests or anything like that. Some do this for dozens to hundreds of
packages. Now I am the first that is probably too many packages but it
is also one of those if they drop them then all of them go away.
