I think the big thing is reducing the delta between the staging branch and the release. I can only assume that would reduce the number of issues that occur with patching vs release tarballs - hopefully making the security teams job a little easier. That being said, if an approach of releasing a new build when we come across broken patch sets for XSAs (like the current 4.9.1 vs XSAs, and prior 4.10.0 vs XSAs), then I think this part becomes irrelevant. -- Steven Haigh 📧 net...@crc.id.au 💻 https://www.crc.id.au 📞 +61 (3) 9001 6090 📱 0412 935 897
