We should freeze when all CCs are in the up state [1]
Can we use the snapshots [2]? My understanding is that the snapshots
are updated in the "all CCs up" moments, so probably almost-a-week old
snapshots are the best for the Milestone.
Were there any significant changes since that? I know about gc switch,
but not sure how it affected stability...
Mikhail,
I created the last snapshots just before gc switch. I've not refreshed
them since that time because of CC alerts.
Thanks,
Stepan.
Thanks,
Mikhail
