Hello all!
It has been brought to the SRU team’s attention that mutter has
landed a significant new feature in the 46.1 point release¹.
The GNOME MicroReleaseException policy historically exists on the basis
that the GNOME release and testing process broadly matches SRU policy,
so duplicating that process by performing a full SRU review on GNOME
point releases would be unnecessary work. Since mutter no longer
appears to have the same understanding of that process as we do, mutter
SRUs will not be covered by the GNOME MRE going forward.
Mutter & GNOME Shell point releases may still be acceptable under the
normal micro release process; this can be checked on a case-by-case
basis.
