I think how transitions are done is not even documented in the dev-ref right now, no? Last time I was uploading a package for a transition I followed https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions which was very helpful but it would've been nice to find this in Debian policy and/or the developer reference manual. > The benefits of all SONAME bump NEW uploads going through experimental > are at least: > * disentangle the start of transitions from NEW acceptance by ftp-master > * auto transition trackers [1] are setup before the start of transitions > * reduce the chance of uploads accidentally interfering with ongoing > transitions (by more awareness and exposure via tracker.d.o). * easier testing for all interested parties of reverse dependencies without potentially interrupting unstable > Are there objections against this workflow?
