Hi Ed, Thanks for your effort to try to improve the quality of the simrel. I was wondering why we don’t simply exclude all non conforming projects from the simrel until these issues have been corrected? This would seem to be particularly important for projects contributing content that is signed with expired certificates. Also, as far as I can see, the Simultaneous Release Requirements page [1] does not go to the level of detail that your email is suggesting, so it would be good to update this with more specific requirements, such as with version of Orbit projects should be building with. Ideally however, these requirements would be checked automatically and the project excluded if non conforming.
