[Cpc-gcp] Re: Seeking new Stable Release Update exceptions for Google cloud image agent packages - further amendments

[Lukasz Zemczak]

Hey Phil, Utkarsh,

This feels sensible to me. Do you have any proposal for the amendments
to the MREs for the Google cloud packages?
I think it would be good if we required outlining the vendored package
version changes in the SRU template, at least for documentation
purposes. At least listing the changes of those vendor packages -
maybe even a link to the changelogs, if possible. The latter might or
might-not be difficult, so I wouldn't consider it a hard requirement
though.

Cheers,
