 Discussion Topic
------------------

Rel. Eng.:
- builds
- Recently there have been complaints that if there is is an
  integration rebuild, there are many additional submissions
  to the rebuild than the teams that requested the rebuild.
  This may be due to the fact that people don't know there
  will be a rebuild or people are just trying to get as many
  fixes in the build as possible due to the time of the year.
  I've done this myself because I've been a bit optimistic
  that there would not be a rebuild.  Anyways, I'm proposing
  that people hold off updating their map files until a preset
  time during the week, for instance Thursday morning at 10am.
  That way the only fixes that will be applied to the integration
  rebuild will be from teams that had issues in the first build
  and requested the rebuild.   This will contribute to the
  stability of the integration build.
