I have a question about the patch management system. The description of the "deferred" status is:
This means that the patch is deferred because of code freeze for an upcoming release. You need to either resend after the release, make the patch less intrusive, or make a convincing argument that it needs to be included in the release.
Why do patches have to be resubmitted after a release rather than just marking all deferred patches as "New" after the release?
Hi, Jamie. The list of patches lasts for one month so after that period patches are dropped. Since the freeze time is likely to consume more time than that the patches have to be resubmitted.
Thanks, Jamie Taylor
