Now that we branched for 4.4, wouldn't it make sense to upgrade bmo to the 4.4 branch directly? I don't expect any major change on this branch anymore, only some new WebServices methods and stabilization. I think it would be much easier for you to maintain bmo/4.4 than to backport tons of features to the bmo/4.2 branch again.

We discussed this and decided that we would still go forward with out plan to upgrade to 4.2 this month. 4.4 is not expected til close to the end of the year. After 4.2 is done we will start working on porting to 4.4 and hope to release soon after general availability.
