The archive was frozen on May 3, so a low-priority upload on April 30 would not have been a candidate for testing before then. (I don't think aba's "urgency inflation" hint was actually active in April, but it doesn't matter because of the above.) > - fai-2.8.1 was heavily tested and reviewed by a group of nine fai-developers > and heavy-users who gathered together in a fai workshop in the beginning of > april (the work for 2.8.1 was done on a list, 2.8 was created at the > workshop.) Nevertheless, it is the release team's responsibility to know what's going into testing during the freeze. I've reviewed the diff for 2.8.2 now; it's approved to go in. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
