Since it's me and Peter who request the composes now (or Adam when he's not on PTO), the timezones work reasonably well together with releng timezones. We usually request composes in the afternoon, after some testing, which works well for us. One of the issues is that the process is not fully automated. Once the compose finishes, a manual work is still required to copy that compose to stage/ area. I'm not sure if this would be covered in 2). Also, would 2) include the ability to abort the current compose and re-request it again? Overall, it seems to me that a few hours are saved in each scenario, so 1) has larger benefits overall. Now, if there was another releng person permitted to create RCs in a different timezone, that would also improve things quite a bit (until we get 2)) :-) Thanks for pushing this, Kamil
