thinking of it, there is another problem: we have patches pending that
contains H::T::P parts (see patches to sign-off on bugzilla...) . How
will we deal with them for 3.4/3.6
The same question arises for 3.2 fixes : should we submit 2 patches :
one for H::T::P, one for TT ? just one for HTP or TT, at your option,
RM(aint) take care of the switch to T::T ?

Speaking as RMaint, I would prefer that template which apply to maintenance branches be submitted which cleanly apply to that branch. So that would mean supplying patches against templates which use H::T::P in that format, and patches against templates using T::T in that format. The rate at which cleanly applying patches will show up in maintenance releases will be much faster than those which do not cleanly apply.

Kind Regards,
Chris
