Maybe we shouldn't even confuse release users with this. I was just wondering what the "anchor" is, say "right after final freeze" or "7 days before GA". We could put "updates-testing disabled in fedora-release GA version" as a remark in there, just like "xy plan on this" and such. When the release slips like now the anchor time matters. One could argue either way. I guess anchoring shortly before GA is safer in the sense that beta testers receive updates longer while they are not being pushed to stable during freeze. You know how it goes: We ask them to test beta, beta is all good and great, so they stay on branched ... In my case, because our uni terms do not line up well with our release schedule, and I can't possibly defer upgrades to the Xmas break ;-) Michael _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
