Hi Pierre, Thanks for the update and for continuing to push this forward. I really appreciate you keeping everyone informed and driving the process despite the Infra delays.
One question that might help with alignment. Do you have a rough cutoff in mind for when we would decide to fall back to a manual release if there is still no signal from ASF Infra? Having a clear point in time could help set expectations and planning on the dev side and user side. Thanks again for the continued effort here.
