The folks that actually are doing this work are also based on US Eastern Time, specifically out in the Boston, MA area. It is much easier for them to pull this off by saying "welp, it's the start of the day for me and this is the day we push the button, so let's push it!". Previously they had to do it technically *after* the end of *the previous day* their time, which made things confusing. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
