Hi Greg,
Thank you for the review.

Two questions before I resend:
1. How do I tell which release a patch targets? Is it purely based on whether it's a bug fix (current release) vs. a new change (next release), or is there a more specific rule I should follow?
2. For versioning the split series, should the bug fix patch restart at v1, and the rest of the series continue at v7? Or should I keep them sequential (bug fix as v7, next-release patches as v8)?

Thanks,
Salman Alghamdi
