Thanks
When we started implementing the teams idea, I thought we would get rid of the core-updates branch altogether. I still think it should not exist as such, but be folded into the teams workflow. I am still mildly worried that we have this branch into which many unrelated things get dumped, without a clear responsibility who pushes it forward and on which timeline. There is a "core" team, but this is probably not the same thing: I think there are packages outside of the core team scope that cause now inside the core-updates branch. Andreas
