Hello,
just a personal comment on this sentence in the draft:
With plans of a “rolling release” model, that results in more frequent
updates, e.g. biweekly or monthly, we want to improve this system.
Just to mention it: The rolling release idea was - among others -
discussed in an ESC call in December last year (minutes at [1]). The
topic was controversial back then and if I remember correctly, the
consensus was to discuss this again once there is a clearer perspective
on how that might work in practice (which involves much more than the
question of how an automatic update might work, s. e.g. some concerns in
the ESC minutes).
To me as a non-native English speaker, the above sentence sounds a bit
like there were already more specific plans than what I can remember
from back then and I cannot remember (but might have missed) a follow-up
discussion on the topic so far.
Anyway, I think that having a good auto-updater makes sense in any case,
regardless of what decision will be taken regarding a potential rolling
release model in the end (and therefore think the tender makes sense in
any case).

Thanks a lot to Markus, Emiliano and several members of the ESC for

Looking forward to your feedback,
Florian
