Yes, I agree, I am at a loss as to why it was signed off as well,
there was blockers like "Be able to apply updates using the desktop
mechanism" that were seemingly ignored with broken gnome-software,
plus numerous other issues. I don't feel it was ready but clearly
someone had some agenda to ram it on through despite the issues.
I read the minutes and my take away is almost 180 degrees from your
conclusion. The process was rational and logical, and reached a
reasonable conclusion objectively. There were valid subjective reasons
to postpone.
There was a gnome-software bug proposed as a blocker. It was
determined not to be a blocker. So it's not correct to say it was a
blocker and that it was ignored. And that there were numerous other
issues (?) that were also not blockers, isn't something I can parse.
On what process basis, including release criteria, whether existing
now or one you'd like to propose, should this release have been held
up?
