One of the issues with a one month approach is the smaller amount of backport prs that would go in, at the current rate we're merging in the range of 5-10 prs per week, because we gang up a bunch of backport prs and these go through the qe and related analysis etc. If you want a freeze at the beginning of month you want to get all the critical release prs merged in the 3rd and 4th week, with our size of a backport team and sepia bandwidth and everything; this is going to be hard. If we are going for a calendar based schedule, we need the subteams to be more active and making sure that the backport prs they need are getting the required attention every week or so. -- Abhishek -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
