The intention is to provide more time for the slow, old, and/or unusual architectures to do machine testing. Here we go. 1) Nominal freeze: not 1 month but 6 weeks before release Mostly to accommodate the later changes, see below. Decision on what goes still in and what goes not, review and addition=20 of final patches. 2) Machine testing: 1 month before release=20 Not, as currently, effectively 2 weeks before release (after waiting for the last important patches to go in) 3) Branch: 2 weeks before release Master is opened for development Release branch only accepts obvious and simple bugfixes and/or fixes for issues found during machine testing 4) Release: from release branch, not master What do you think?
