Dear Release Team, Robie Basak pointed out that in the stable release exception [1] for gce-compute-image-packages the wording does not explicitly lift the requirement for the the package to reach the minimal age (7 days) before it can migrate from -proposed to the release.
In practice requiring 7 days to be spent in -proposed for this source package is not particularly useful since the binary packages are maintained only for Google's infrastructure and both Google and us test them as part of the verification process. No one else is expected to test those packages in the remaining time of default required minimal age. In my interpretation lifting the aging requirement was already lifted: ... "New versions of gce-compute-image-packages can be SRU'd in to older releases provided the following process is followed. " ... The process after that sentence does not mention aging. To clarify if aging is required either please explicitly lift the requirement in the process part or declare it required.
