## Changes for Stable Releases
Sometimes certain changes have to be added to an existing stable release.
Two examples are bug fixes and performance improvements. In these cases the
corresponding merge request should be updated to have the following:
1. A milestone indicating what release the merge request should be merged into.
1. The label "Pick into Stable"
This makes it easier for release managers to keep track of what still has to be
merged and where changes have to be merged into.
