Just "Changes that fix regressions"? That covers reverts.

It doesn't matter how old the commit is. If it introduces a regression that can't be fixed speedily, first order of business should be to revert.

was there a previous discussion around this regarding reverts? Is the idea that reverts are included in regressions?

it would seem that perhaps we want to be specific about them being recent regressions? Do we want to fast track any bug fix??

@MylesBorins your message made me think a little bit more about this. I agree we should be more specific because it should not be about fast-tracking any regression.
Here are the two situations that IMO justify fast-tracking:

  • Regressions that break contributor's workflow (like red CI, broken compilation)
  • Regressions that happen right before a release. If the fix is obvious -> fast track. Otherwise the commit introducing the regression can be backed out of the release branch.

@targos There is another type of fast-tracking that we do in practice: commits fixing regressions that have just been released and reported soon after the release. We usually do a quick release for them soon after they land.

It would be better if we include the cases listed by @targos and in #17332 (comment) here.

I'd rather we land this first, since it's small and focused change, with wide approval, and continue iterating later.
Also this is not the entire language of this section, fast tracking a PR still requires the discretion and consensus of at least 3 people.
