oof. I've been there. One day my manager asked me if I could cherry-pick a large amount of code from master into their Frankenstein "release" branch. I thought about it for a minute trying to figure out a polite way to say "you all are fucking insane, you know?" before settling on "okay, I can do that but if this breaks it's on you." I'm pretty sure if you have releases and they involve half a dozen "hot fixes" then you're doing CI/CD wrong. But what do I know. Everyone is still drinking that agile kool-aid.
