You do get to vote, everyone can vote. It's actually helpful to have more people voting and participating in the whole release process. Voting for releases is done in the public dev list. PPMC members have binding votes but any issue raised by any member of the community needs to be addressed before we can move forward with a release. > I still have doubts about *why* EXTRADEFINES *had to* become EXTRAFLAGS :) but whatever. Because at that point we started using that variable to pass flags in general and not only defines. EXTRADEFINES was not a valid name anymore. (it's used in the testing script to pass -Wno-cpp -Werror for example) On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 5:16 PM Sebastien Lorquet <sebast...@lorquet.fr> wrote: > > I will try to continue testing my custom board with upcoming releases to > detect such breaks.
