Right, I was trying to include the big picture as well, guess I let it get a little fuzzy :(. In the future, once we've got downtime deployments down to a fine art (https://dev.launchpad.net/LEP/ReliableDBDeploys) we can look at signficantly more downtime windows, but much shorter and more controlled ones. That has a bunch of technical challenges involved in it - for now we can remove a bunch of overhead that formed around the concept of once a month, feature-including, high-risk deploys. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
