Hi all,
Since there will be a batch of XSAs released on Nov. 1 [1] and the original date for
the 4.17 release was supposed to be Nov. 2, I am thinking to postpone the 4.17
release to a week later (Nov. 11) to give a little bit longer time so that:
- The security team won't do anything in rush.
- We can have more feedback after merging these XSAs.
- Include more release-relevant bugfixes.
May I please have some feedback on this proposal? Thanks very much!
I think you have presented an appropriate rationale for the date adjustment, so I am supportive of it.
As for effect on downstreams: I don't think that this change of date will negatively affect OpenEmbedded and Yocto (+CC Bruce for visibility).
