 I find the name confusing. If we follow the “old” days convention (as 2.1 is really old now :), we should probably use 2.1-MR since 2.1.1 doesn’t really exist. In any case, as long as people understand what it is, I’m fine with leaving it like this.

EE4J_8 will only adopt _critical_ fixes as you wrote. I do not like the idea to mix bug fixes with new features in 2.2-SNAPSHOT / 3-SNAPSHOT, and keeping those PRs simply open for later decision instead of immediate collecting them in a *-SNAPSHOT branch feels strange.
