Do we plan to create 4.8.6?

[Rick Stockton]

Kickoff with keyboard only: My "fix" for Bug 276932 
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276932> created Bug 297842 
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297842> in KDE 4.8.x (x >= 2).

KDE 4.9.0 doesn't YET suffer from 297842, because I didn't remember to 
apply the 4.8 fix for 276932 to Trunk before 4.9 was branched. (Yes, I 
am Clueless.)
4.9.0 does suffer the old 276932 problem, and if the old Patch is 
applied (unchanged) then it will create bug 297842.

The following possibilities arise:

(1) If we have ongoing support for 4.8, then I need to create and apply 
a small fix for #297842 (within 4.8). I would then like to apply 
separate fixes for Trunk and 4.9 - the "just one thing wrong" Patch for 
Bug 276932 first, and then the new Patch (297842 fix) immediately after. 
(Minutes apart.)

(2) At slightly higher risk, I can apply the small Patch for 4.8, and 
one 'Combined Fix' 4.9 and Trunk fix for both problems at once.

(3) If support for 4.8 has ended (with 4.8.5), then just the one 
"Combined" Fix for both problems.

Please advise how I should proceed. Thanks!
