kevin reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following: `` Right now we do freeze actions at 00:00UTC of the day they are listed on the schedule.
There's a number of issues with this:
* People expect when they see 'freeze is tuesday' that they will have at least part of tuesday to finish things, when in fact the freeze takes effect right at the very first seconds of 'tuesday' and they don't have the time they expect.
* 00:00UTC is early evening for releng folks in the us and late at night for releng members elsewhere. Making changes then can leed to mistakes or less review because fewer people are around. Issues are often not seen until the next day.
* Other milestones (like release itself or unfreeze dates) don't take place at 00:00UTC, so it's also odd from that perspective.
I'd like to propose we move this from 00:00UTC on the day of freeze to 18:00UTC on the day of freeze. That gives people a chunk of the day to finish things, releng can do changes 20 hours later so it doesn't have to be in the middle of the night and it's more in line when we do releases. Another alternative might be to do 15:00UTC so it's the same as release time.
Thoughts?
