[Freeipa-devel] [RFE] Backporting capabilities

[Petr Viktorin]

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4427

Here is a design that enables backporting capabilities (i.e. 
backwards-incompatible API changes) to maintenance branches of FreeIPA.

The premise is that no branched development occurs on the maintenance 
branch, only single targeted changes are brought back.

I believe it solves the problem rather nicely, and the implementation 
would be pretty straightforward.
The downside is that uses weird API versions like 
'2.347+backported_capability' (which are currently valid API versions, 
though).
