Did you change your policy with respect to minor version updates on master?
Just being curious - you used to have only some security updates in minor versions on stable, but it seems that you moved a LOT of stuff in 1.5.1 this time. 
I think it was bugs that regressed and so they back-ported them to ensure a consistent experience.
No, there are lots of features in there as well, https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/v1.5.1
Yeah, I see that. My guess is merging the group between the last fix and the first fix was easier than trying to merge individual commits over the past week.

We did this last time too, but essentially the week after stable a lot more reports come in for things that should be fixed and we tend to backport all those fixes.
@neil went through the commits, assessing which ones were risky and which weren’t before picking them over.

Yeah some low-risk small features are in there too, but it was mainly the bug fixes that needed to be merged. I stopped before the commit that added multiple worker queues which is definitely not going into 1.5 stable. From now on 1.5 stable will only get critical security and bug fixes.
