Below is edk2-stable202311 tag planning Proposed Schedule

Date (00:00:00 UTC-8) Description

2023-08-25 Beginning of development
2023-11-06 Soft Feature Freeze
2023-11-10 Hard Feature Freeze
2023-11-24 Release

Can edk2-platforms and edk2-non-osi be tagged at same time as edk2? There are projects outside which use both repositories to build firmware for their use.

I was contacted with one of them as they had problem with SBSA Reference Platform (sbsa-ref in QEMU, qemu-sbsa in TF-A, SbsaQemu in EDK2). Turned out that their set of git repositories was far too much out of sync with each other.

Having edk2-stable202311 tag in those 3 repositories show them exactly which versions to use and make their life easier.

TL;DR: yes.

That is the long-term plan.
Perhaps approaching medium-term now.

But that requires pruning of platforms that are no longer actively maintained, and ongoing validation efforts on all platforms in edk2-platforms.

On the whole, tagging edk2-platforms at the same time as we tag the main repo is unlikely to be beneficial. We'll need to introduce a freeze of the platforms tree once the main repo stable tag is made and then wait for reports/updates from maintainers. And implement a deprecation/archiving process for platforms where this does not happen in a timely fashion. And I guess also tag the edk2-non-osi repo at the same time as the platforms repo.

And there's not a whole lot of us to work on this. And currently we're focusing on migrating to the copilot^Wgithub PR system for submissions/review.
