question about deferred patches

[Jamie Taylor]

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

Why do patches have to be resubmitted after a release rather than just
marking all deferred patches as "New" after the release?

Thanks,
Jamie Taylor

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.

Hi,
Further they might not apply any more after the code freeze.
