Thanks, I've gone ahead and landed the change to ubuntu-archive-scripts to
use the git branch instead, so this is ready to go without any friction when
we start opening DD.  In the very, very unlikely event that you need further
seed changes for cosmic before release, please update them in git as well as
in bzr.

I am not landing the cdimage branch change yet because that code branch
shouldn't be taking non-release-critical changes at this point in the
release cycle; but I've raised an MP:
https://code.launchpad.net/~rosco2/ubuntu-cdimage/ubuntustudio-seeds-git/+merge/357095

I notice that
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntustudio
only contains converted branches for the currently-supported releases.  I
recommend that you convert all of the releases, not just the
currently-supported ones, so that all of the history is in one place and you
can delete the bzr branches to avoid any confusion.

Cheers,
