As a member of the Technical Board who is not on the Release Team, it always struck me as odd that the TB is responsible for determining which flavours qualify for the LTS label.
Personally, if someone from the release team says it's OK, then I agree. I don't think I have anything to add or change. I don't think I have any expertise or considered opinion to add in this area that I'd routinely want to provide any input that the release team has not already done. Contrast with the new flavour process[1][2] where a requirement is "The flavour’s intention and goals are aligned with the goals of the Ubuntu project"[3] which doesn't seem to me like a release team thing. So in that case I think it makes sense to consult with the TB on just that point, but to leave everything else to the release team. Could the LTS designation decision for flavours be something that we could delegate entirely to the release team for future cycles? Of course technically the TB would retain the right to overrule anything, but that would be exceptional and I don't see any reason for the process to have to involve TB in the routine case. Robie [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors/NewFlavorProcess [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedFlavors [3] IIRC I was the one who suggested this, but my point remains that I think it makes sense for the TB to decide this, but not everything else routine, including the remaining logistics of new flavours and per-LTS-cycle individual flavour LTS qualification
