Thank you to everyone involved!
Yep, thanks to everybody who helped get this one out of the door;
trunk is now re-opened for 2.2 development.
If there's anything you think we should maybe try to do better or
differently next time round, now might be a good time to suggest it.
Personally I think it went reasonably well and I was happy with the
length of hardfreeze time. We should remember to ask for updates
of the message translations at rc0/rc1 time rather than having them
appear very late in the cycle, perhaps.
Indeed. One of the things I felt helped was that patchsets spanning
across the entire tree, e.g. display changes and QOM changes were
applied sooner in the release cycle which I felt helped reduce rebase
clashes as release drew closer.
The only improvement I would like to see is for maintainers to try and
regularly flush their patch queues where possible, to help prevent
patchsets of over 100 emails being posted to the lists (naming no names
in order to protect the innocent of course ;).
ATB,
Mark.
