Can you explain more what you mean by "no new features"?
Sometimes is hard to say if a change is necessary and thus a fix or if it 
optional. And fixes could break something as well.

Will you create a 2.3.0 branch for all new features or only for those that 
break some compatibility?

Best,
Bernhard
