Dan is correct that 17.2.5 is a hotfix release. There was a flaw in
the release process for 17.2.4 in which five commits were not included
in the release. The users mailing list will hear an official
announcement about this hotfix release later this week.
Thanks for the info.
1) May I bring up again my remarks about the timing:

I believe the upload of a new release to the repo prior to the
announcement happens quite regularly - it might just be due to the
technical process of releasing.
But I agree it would be nice to have a more "bit flip" approach to new
releases in the repo and not have the packages appear as updates prior
to the announcement and final release and update notes.
By my observations sometimes there are packages available on the
download servers via the "last stable" folders such as
https://download.ceph.com/debian-quincy/ quite some time before the
announcement of a release is out.
I know it's hard to time this right with mirrors requiring some time to
sync files, but would be nice to not see the packages or have people
install them before there are the release notes and potential pointers
to changes out.
2) Also in cases as with the 17.2.4 release containing a regression it
would be great to have the N release and N-1 there to allow users to
downgrade to a previous point-release quickly in case they run into issues.
Otherwise one needs to configure the N-1 repo manually to still have
access to the N-1 release.
And with this just being links in the filesystem this should not even
take make space on the download servers or their mirrors.

Christian
