Consistent with the existing wording, any bug proposed during this period has the smell of being "a last minute bug". It's a valid position that consideration needs to save it from the policy, rather than whether the policy applies. The category applies by virtue of the bug being proposed during the period, there is a bias from the outset. Ergo, in fact you have more bugs with this implicit bias with a 7 day period, than a 3 day period. If it's a three day period, the last Monday blocker means those blockers are blockers. That's rather last minute, good chance they aren't getting fixed and we have to slip. If this is 7 days, well only the really meaningful ones would cause a slip, otherwise they are blockers for the next round. In some ways this reminds me of printing newspapers. Those folks have to print *another* paper tomorrow, so they can't fix all mistakes. They simply run out of time, there really is a hard and fast deadline. Every day. And I like anything that reduces the testing stress of the final week to finding the really nasty bugs that we really shouldn't ship with that can't easily be fixed with an update or just plain look bad. Another option here, is applying the last minute blocker to the Release Target #1 week, and not to the Preferred Target week. Of even, if it's a 3 day period apply it to the Preferred Target week; and if 7 days apply to Target #1 week. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
