Hey all, I've only heard positive feedback on this proposal. It doesn't solve all our problems, but it would provide a path around some of the bureaucracy. Would the other mentors be willing to bring this suggestion to their podlings? Especially the "young" ones who still need releases outside

This change would be useful. As a release manager of a podling, the most disheartening thing is latency. The usual practice is a 72 hour PPMC release vote, followed by a 72 hour IPMC vote, one of which will cross a weekend, so a negative vote on the last day of the IPMC vote adds at least a
