We did have a few different bright ideas, but they're all rather
bigger
changes that might be better off being discussed separately from this
SOP.
So how about this: what if we put the current draft into production
but
entirely leave out the paragraph about doing a TC release after an RC
release, so the SOP just doesn't cover the case at all? That would at
least document current practice reasonably well.
Then I'll try and find some time to synthesize all the ideas that
came
later in this thread, about revising TC/RC naming and so on, and
maybe
go back in time as well because I recall some similar proposals being
made on devel a year or so back. I'll try and come up with some kind
of
comprehensive proposal covering all those ideas, in terms of actually
revising the process itself. This SOP proposal was really just
intended
to be a document _describing_ current practice, I didn't have
changing
the practice in mind when writing it.
If that sounds okay to everyone, I'll put the SOP minus the
controversial paragraph into 'production' tomorrow, and then work on
the
new 'change the process' proposal when I can. Thanks!
ACK
