Hi Miro,

Yes.

rc)
versions?

Release blockers block also beta releases (if the RM decides so).

>> Would it make sense to release 3.11.0b4 with some not-yet-fixed
blockers?

No, the reason is that fixes can introduce more regressions and those need
to be fixed. If these fixes
are pretty big we would be risking big changes in the RC phase, which we
want to avoid. The idea is that
the fixes to critical problems reported on beta x can be tested on beta x+1.

At the end of the day, this is all subjected to the judgement of the
release manager, and given how many
release blockers we have been getting and how many of these have been
reported past week *after* several
attempts to release the next beta, I have decided to wait.

Additionally, I am considering pushing the full release some months in the
future to allow for more betas, given
how unstable 3.11 is currently.
