Yes, it does from my POV. Before we grant blanket MREs we usually
require some good record of successful MREs in actual SRUs; as the
go-ified juju is still rather new and hasn't really seen SRUs, I think
it's too early to talk about MREs.

Ordinarily I trust the SRU team to decide whether a new microrelease
with a couple of bug fixes fits the normal SRU criteria; if there is a
case where there are tons of changes, or new features, I'd rather
bring this up again as a concrete case.

Thanks,

Martin
