The Branch cut for our weekly MediaWiki release train is moving to full automation, starting with 1.35.0-wmf.37[0] at 02:00 UTC, next Tuesday, June 16th 2020.
This is a slight change to the branch cut timing which usually happens at approximately 17:00 UTC on Tuesdays. Previously, this was at the discretion of the train deployer and will instead be at a deterministic time going forward.
If you have concerns about the timing of the branch cut, there is a Phabricator Task[1] for that discussion. There is still flexibility in the timing of the branch cut and we will consider further feedback as we fine tune this process to best suit the needs of everyone involved.
