I just don't want us to be making a change that impacts any other flavors post-beta without their buy-in. So if we do it now, the process is: - invert the logic - compile a complete list of all flavors building livefses and add them to the opt-in list - send mail to ubuntu-release or something encouraging flavors to drop themselves from the opt-in list if they're comfortable with the change - wait forever for everybody to do this If we wait until the opening of the cycle, the process can be: - invert the logic - add support for opt-in list but leave it empty by default - send mail to ubuntu-release letting flavors know about the change, encouraging them to leave everything as-is unless they have specific size problems The latter seems preferable to me, but means we have to leave this bug open for 2 more weeks :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627190 Title: livecd-rootfs: .pyc files stripped from desktop ISO livefs, makes python startup slower To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1627190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
