We settled on a week of "soak time" simply to avoid patch releases like
this right after releasing. If we *still* do little patches like this,
then wtf do we have a soak time for?
I'd like to suggest that we just dispense with the soak time. It is
certainly not preventing patch releases. Yes, I know that other patches
got into 0.35 that may not have been there, but we released a 0.35.1
anyways. They could have gone there.
And yah, I know that the release is going to be way stable now anyways, so
risks are low and soak isn't needed. Mostly, I'm talking about when we
start making regular releases again next year. Screw the soak time and the
delay it introduces. Just stick with bi-weekly releases. If you miss a
release, then wait for the next. It isn't very far off. If the problem is
critical, then sure: we make a patch. But the soak time that we're
providing is only giving us time to integrate non-critical, and is not
saving us from patch releases for the critical items. Thus, I consider the
experience so far to be a failure.
Cheers,
