This point is self-contradictory and spells disaster:
1) You cannot have a rapid deployment with urgency=low as a priority.
2) Asking people to use urgency=low can only result in Sarge freezing exactly
when this 2.6 to 2.8 transition is incomplete, which could be seriously messy.
I therefore recommend using urgency=medium instead.
Other than that, the rest of your release conditions make perfect sense.
