Hi, After requesting a couple of freeze exceptions for packagekit it was suggested that we apply for a standing freeze exception. Thanks to the release team for dealing with the requests, and apologies for not doing this sooner.
The justification would be that packagekit is a young and fast moving project, and while it is not ready for widespread use in Ubuntu the testing helps packagekit and especially Sebastian while developing the apt backend. Upstream tends to work around the Fedora release schedule, so it is close to ours, but the difference, and the different attitudes to the release put strain on our release team. It is now intended to land no more features before 8.10. If a standing exception is granted does that continue through RC freeze? If not it still helps as there was just another upstream release anyway we could put in without troubling the release team. Also, RC freeze is on Thursday, and I think it would be useful to have clarification from motu-release for what this means for Universe.
