Hello Olivier, Considering your arguments, we need, at least, to think about reducing the cycle review for minor releases reviews. Kees has a point about the few number of changes in the software to implement in the guides, and, in my opinion, giving the same treatment for major and minor releases is consuming most of the team's time. Maybe reducing the requisites for updating the guides in minor releases, we can use the time to work on some other projects.
Is there any idea from the team to implement a reduced workflow for minor releases?
