Dear all,The Release Team just asked ftp-master to hold of accepting SONAME bumps targeting unstable to ease the last days before the Transition and Toolchain Freeze. The Release Team would like to ask the ftp-masters to also by default reject SONAME bump NEW uploads to unstable during the whole release cycle and instead mandate they need to go through experimental. This requires a bigger audience to agree upon, hence this message. Once accepted, the proposed workflow should also become documented in Debian policy.
The benefits of all SONAME bump NEW uploads going through experimental are at least:
* disentangle the start of transitions from NEW acceptance by ftp-master * auto transition trackers [1] are setup before the start of transitions * reduce the chance of uploads accidentally interfering with ongoing transitions (by more awareness and exposure via tracker.d.o).Are there objections against this workflow? (Or voices from people who like this?)
