Hello Josh/Christiane,
I agree with your recommendations. Considering we are trying to move
into Train model, should we also add Aurora or Beta to the tags ? Please
advice.
Paul - Yes, we can start to document the final tag on Wiki as well.
Thanks,
Mahi

Hi Christiane,
Thanks for the proposal and I actually like the idea of adding FC/CC (Release)
tag. However, it might still hard for partners to determine patches on the
tagging because we still allow partner blockers to land after CC. We might need
another FINAL_RELEASE tag after we fix all partner blockers.
Anyway I think it wouldn’t hurt to add FC/CC tag for our internal planned date
for purpose as you mentioned: security advisories, release notes, other
technical editing, management decisions.
Also CC Mahi(New RM) and Dylan if they have different opinion.
Cheers,

I propose to introduce a specifically-named hg tag for B2G release
versions that is created at or around release day, for example
B2G_2_2_RELEASE.
A consistent release tag can serve as anchor for security advisories,
release notes, other technical editing, management decisions, and
communication evolving around releases. It can also serve as reference
for partners when it comes to updates and spotting backports.
The current situation is that there are no specific release tags, just
an ambivalent collection of *_MERGEDAY tags ( see
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-b2g37_v2_2/ ) which continues to
accumulate over the maintenance cycle of a branch. This makes it hard to
impossible to reliably determine which state our technical writing is
referring to, especially when it comes to security advisories and what
bug they cover per release.
Even though Firefox has a different release model, their
FIREFOX_BETA_*_END tags are equivalent to release tags.
