Hi Fathi,

Sorry for the top post.

Any specific reason why using the build from 0926 as the RC instead of
0927? This is just because the images are created after 00 UTC, so the
images from 0926 are actually the ones built at the beginning of
monday, and not after monday. This is critical for us because we
usually have friday and monday for final integration, and getting the
images created at monday will actually reduce one day of work for us.
One example is that I usually update the base-files package at monday,
but this time the RCs are still using the old base-files package,
requiring then an image respin for the final release.

Due to release manager timezone etc. we aim for cutting ready to RC images by 1600 UTC on Monday.
Can't we do the base-files update on Friday. Are there any other packages like kernel that need more
up-front integration time?
