Dear release team members,
Based on some discussions we've been having on the other Freezes, would
like to see if there is consensus to make FinalFreeze[1], apply to
Universe as well as main.
Right now the process states:
"For packages in universe that aren't seeded in any of the Ubuntu
flavors, this final freeze is nominal; packages must be manually
accepted by the archive admins, but no additional approval is required."
There's no timing on this, but historically we've not been accepting
into the archive after a certain point.
What is "seeded" is also a bit ambiguous these days as well.
So...
1) does it make sense to declare FinalFreeze to be freeze on all the
archive?
or
2) do we want a separate explicit universe Freeze (and be clearer what
is ok to upload in the period between FinalFinal freeze, and this date)
or
3)...
Thoughts?
Thanks, Kate
