Totally agreed. I also raised my disagreement, but the explanation to this policy was that this would mean that MOTUs (btw note that this also affects core-devs uploading to universe) will think about the upload twice, and will read the changelog and ensure it's a bug-fix only release. I understood it at that moment, but thinking about it again I can't agree with it, for 2 main reasons: 1) If we trust MOTUs to upload anything to the archive, why don't we trust them to just upload bug fixes before FeatureFreeze? I also see this similar to the self-freeze for the Hardy alphas. The Release Managers don't require core-devs filling a bug with the changelog. They just trust them, and everything should be working fine so far, as otherwise they wouldn't have done it for 5 alphas. 2) After uploading these two [1] [2] changelogs (specially the first one) from [3] I feel somewhat stupid :) > After seeing multiple complaints about this new system, i'd suggest > bringing it up at the MOTU > meeting, but as I am in the MOTU release minority on this issue, my > hands are somewhat tied. I'll try to make the meeting and raise this there too. But I'd like to propose this: 1) We don't require any paperwork at all. If it's bug-fix only, just upload (or request a sync). 2) If there are problems with this (as in people uploading non-bugfix-only releases) we reconsider it. Thoughts?
