Indeed basically I could just go and release a month earlier with same
impact. Another thing which makes me wonder is that all ports in
question reported that they're OK.
This was a bit frustrating for me as a release manager to see the
outcome. Of course, I clearly remember and realize that we all are
volunteers, but still there is a need of coordinated work, at least in
some sensible way. Now it seems that even 1/9th of the year is not
enough for everyone to sync :(
