Thank you for clarifying this document, it's helpful.
One question I still have after reading this is if we have to wait for the tactics schedule update. For example, right now the only code complete dates we've settled on are Feb 10. We dont have a code complete day for March yet, only that GA is March 11, so I'm still not sure if this applies in a situation like this for branches such as 9.0.2xx?

@nagilson In the document, I list the third Tuesday of the month as the cutoff. That's not the exact date but the best guess that I have (usually we're taking changes after that but for March for example, we were done a few days earlier). Technically, the official schedule has us code complete on the second Tuesday but it usually takes many days for all the code to flow and I leave the branch open during that (as otherwise, the one week window is really short for getting in a month of codeflow). |
The text previously said the first of the month as that was an estimate at the time. Since then, it's been pretty consistent that we do branding the week before release so the first Tuesday of the month specifically.
