I think you have a good point here, especially time-wise.

We should manage them as a separate project, and there should be a project
owner (Micz?), but we should time their upgrades with minor and major
releases. Of course, they should never hold back a release.

So let's try to set it up like that after the 3.4.3 release.

All the best,

Sava
