Hi Thomas, [I changed lts-secur...@debian.org to debian-...@lists.debian.org since lts-secur...@debian.org is meant only to reach members of the team approved to deal with embargoed issues. It is not a public list like debian-...@lists.debian.org.]
I read through this message and I am very excited about the coming changes.

As this is a step in the process which presents an opportunity make mistakes, I am pleased that this is being automated. At what point should the LTS team stop generating these? Is that something that we should discontinue right away, or do wait for a formal announcement to let us know that these should no longer be generated when a DLA is released?
