[pytest-dev] on abolishing the feature branch concept

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

I agree on the link article as well and like the model,
i propose a time-frame of either 3 or 4 months for the feature releases.

My personal preference is 3 months.

I already started with trying to automate regendoc,
my first attempt can be classified as failure.

I'd like to discuss a new approach at a later point in time.
the idea is to have a deploy handler, which will "deploy" a pull request
to maser/feature
whenever it notices differences after a regen run.
