If all of our testing were completely in an automated fashion, then I would agree that the 72-hour window is sufficient. However, we don’t have that kind of automated coverage and people aren’t always able to immediately begin testing things out like migrating from their version of CloudStack to the new one. That being the case, 72 hours does seem (at least for where we are now as a project in terms of automated testing coverage) a bit short.

We have a culture of testing only after RC-cut which is part of the problem. The long duration of a single test run takes, is another part. And finally, in this case there is the new mindblow called meltdown. I think in general we should try to keep the 72 hours but for this release it is not realistic.

Is it just be or, based on the amount of changes and "things" to test, I would like to expect a window in the size of 7-14 days ...?
