I want to share that I have spent considerable time reflecting on the release process because I genuinely care about improving it both for the sake of Git's users as well as its contributors. I've thoughtfully weighed the challenges -- like having clear and dependable timelines, like timing releases around holidays, weekends, and accommodating embargoed releases -- and observe significant room for improvement. I approached writing the email to which you replied with the intention of fostering a collaborative discussion. I put a lot of effort into crafting my thoughts constructively, writing and rewriting the email, even deleting several well-laid out arguments in the interest of a less confrontational and dismissive tone in favor of inspiring reflection, and I had hoped for a response that mirrored that level of consideration. That said, I am eager to hear your thoughts on how we can shift this dialogue into a more productive and collaborative direction, one where we focus on enhancing the project together. > So what is your preference? Apart from seeing the need to improve on the status quo, I have no fixed preference. How do _you_ envision a release process that could better serve the needs of everyone involved? Looking forward to hearing your insights, Johannes > In any case, I'll go back to my vacation ;-) I hope it was a good, relaxing one, that helped you un- and rewind.
