I don't think this has been mentionned yet:
The TC needs to be careful when outlining what is "release-critical" or not:
AFAIK this is part of what's delegated to the Release Team [0]. So unless the
Release Team defers that specific question to us, I'd recommend to only talk
in terms of Policy vocabulary. That doesn't imply we cannot align our
recommended timelines with Debian suite release dates, of course.
That said, specifically regarding Philip's text, the "should not" is only
emitting a $6.1.5-style opinion towards the RT, which is probably fine.
Cheers,
