Everyone agrees that you made the best decision and especially when faced
with the scarcity of comments from ppl who requested the build or the PMC.
I think we were just talking of trying to find a better policy for next
time around.

I've been thinking about the discussion in the arch call today regarding
the M5 retrospective.

The PMC approached me on Friday morning and said that we needed a rebuild
to include the new Galileo splash screen. It was my understanding that the
splash screen needed to be correct for Eclipsecon. The rebuild broke and I
spent many hours troubleshooting the problem. In the process, we discovered
several issues around resigning jars which were valuable for the community.
If I didn't fix this problem on the weekend, the builds would have all been
broken this week.

I could have just promoted the older build without the splash screen fix.
However, I was trying to promote a good M5 and avoid a milestone rebuild.
Everyone laughes about M5a. However, milestone rebuilds waste a LOT of my
time. Time that could be better served by making progress on bugs for the
next milestone. Not only is it costly for me personally, it wastes a lot of
time for the community as they have to adjust to a new milestone. It
doesn't make our team look great either :-( That being said, I understand
that unforseen issues arise that sometimes require a milestone rebuild.

My point is that I made the best decision I could given the information
available to me.

Kim
